A mother's love is the sweetest love

She made me who I am today

She makes me feel understood

You're the greatest, you're the kindest

Nurturing, resilient

You're selfless in so many ways

Eh-eh-eh

Ekong noh eh, eh-eh-eh... ekong noh eh

She loves me for who I am, no, not for what I am

She lets me live, but supports if I fall

She believes in me, ye-eah

Wants the best for me, ye-eah

Her love brings out the best in me

Ooh-oh

Mami them their love no be fair weather love oh

E know when for push you and when for comfort you

E love fit make am ya dream them cam true

A mother's love Heals

A mother's love Empowers

Equips me to face the world

A mother's love does not

Gaslight, gaslight, no no no no

She would never, sacrifice her own to have her way

Mothers are not perfect, but we love them dearly

Every time a child is born, a mother is born too

No one is born with a PhD in motherhood

Our hearts pour out to those who have very difficult mothers

And we congratulate them for recognizing

And stopping the harmful cycles in their own parenthoods

And let's pour some love to

Children who have lost their mothers

Mothers who have lost children

Mothers and Children estranged from each other

People struggling to be mothers

And let's appreciate and celebrate all the parental figures

Who make up the village it takes to raise a child

Even when I make am you halla

Esonghori oh

Chong meh nkina eh, ehe-eh

You still show me unconditional love
