My mother grew up poor and strong,
Wild and kind,
Unsteady and prime.
Black curls and brick house,
Stealing for her supper.
My mother can push and fight,
Claw and brawl,
My mother is a warrior in lamb's clothing.
She stands upon walls,
Falls,
then finds her footing.
Because my mother is a warrior in lamb's clothing.
At times she's insecure and unsure,
Unknowing that
My mother is a warrior in lamb's clothing.
She pushes, bows, cares and bares,
She can endure all things, conquer all things and renew all things,
For my mother is a warrior in lamb's clothing

Because my mother is a warrior in lamb's clothing.
At times she's insecure and unsure,
Unknowing that
My mother is a warrior in lamb's clothing.
She pushes, bows, cares and bares,
She can endure all things, conquer all things and renew all things,
For my mother is a warrior in lamb's clothing
