Every day, the sun comes up Like the day before Every day, I fill my cup Stand up straight and walk through the door Every day, my mother's voice Talks to me Every day, I make my choice What to do and how to be And every day, I build my life On her sacrifice And every day, I face my strife But I know where to go for advice Ooh, many roads I could've walked down Many, many ways to disappear And every day, I hear the sound Of her voice right by my ear So clear, so clear She taught me to be strong Well, I guess I got lucky Now I've got a dance and I've got a song They can't take that away from me Every day, every day Every day, I hear my mother's voice Every night, the stars come up Like the night before And every night, I drain my cup Lay me down and close the door Every day, I hear my mother's voice Every day, I hear my mother's voice Every day Every day, I hear my mother's voice I hear my mother's voice Every day, I hear my mother's voice Every day, I hear my mother's voice Every day, I hear my mother's voice Every day
