You held my hand through the storm And through the wind I kept you warm Sometimes the gust was just too strong But when my legs were weak, the love was never gone You led me down the foggy street And when the gravel hurt you bandaged my feet With every stitch I winced and desperately cried Before I realized you were right by my side When the floor crumbled and my ankles were tied with weights You cut through the ropes when others closed their gates I can always count on you to answer when I knock on your door So I'll let you in when your rain starts to pour It's all I can exchange for your tender heart Because you have given me your all right from the start

My mother's exchange
You held my hand through the storm And through the wind I kept you warm Sometimes the gust was just too strong But when my legs were weak, the love was never gone You led me down the foggy street And when the gravel hurt you bandaged my feet With every stitch I winced and desperately cried Before I realized you were right by my side When the floor crumbled and my ankles were tied with weights You cut through the ropes when others closed their gates I can always count on you to answer when I knock on your door So I'll let you in when your rain starts to pour It's all I can exchange for your tender heart Because you have given me your all right from the start
