The child in the mirror, I've watched fade away

The dreams of youth, like my hair, touched by shades of gray

The winding path I follow leads me far from home

But always I can reach back to the love I've known

The lessons that you taught me

A mother's heart is true

The road home will always lead me

Straight back to you

The winds of change are always blowing

And the dreams of tomorrow will lead us to roam

But the light we shine upon the seedling

Will still nourish the tree, once it has grown

And no matter what path I follow

It will lead me by and by

To remember the face of God

Is reflected in my mother's eyes

The image in the mirror gazing back at me

Lines of age connecting similarities

Though time may leave us weathered, and life may leave us changed

The seeds of a mother's love will always remain

The lessons that you taught me

A mother's heart is true

The road home will always lead me

Straight back to you

The winds of change are always blowing

And the dreams of tomorrow will lead us to roam

But the light we shine upon the seedling

Will still nourish the tree, once it has grown

And no matter what path I follow

It will lead me by and by

To remember the face of God

Is reflected in my mother's eyes

In my mother's eyes
