Just Because
A Mothers Love and Roar
By Barbara Jones
She’s strong and warm
And seen by all
There’s no mother like her
And I’ll tell you why
No matter what, she has or not
Her love runs hot, as she gives a lot
Like a car needing water
Love flows out, every drop, from this mother
CHORUS
See her face look into her eyes
She always seems to have some surprise
Going, talking, tunning, walking,
She’s up early and she wakes
Her children are always in her thoughts
God says don’t worry, I’ve got them
As her head raises up, from her nightly vigil
Her name is Debra and she’s my sister
She gets up, puts her makeup on
Always wears lipstick and grabs her phone
She never gives up, always hangs on
Waiting by her telephone
Her time and energy are not a loan
You can’t pay back a mother’s love
She is a mother like no other
A sister, friend, let me tell ya
As long as she’s alive, she thrives
See the life in her yellow eyes
Hear the mother lion roar
She seeks no recognition or pay back
All she longs and waits for you to call back
All she does is just because
Her love flows and flows, even now and she’s old
She leaves memory after memory
Day by day they seem to grow
I don’t know how or what she’s got
But she runs on, the love from her heart
REPEAT CHORUS
I’m her big sister and as I woke
God gave me this and so I wrote
Debra’s heartbeat is love
And it’ll never run dry, because she cries
Her tears speak louder than words
I don’t understand, but I am told
That’s what makes her heart full of gold
She’s one of a kind, this sister of mine
REPEAT CHORUS
I’m 73 and she’s 71
But that’s OK
I’m proud to know her and tell her story
And it’s not over, all Heaven knows her
And the angels wait to welcome
This Lion Mother, hear her Roar!!!!
