You are my baby and then,

You are my friend

You are the reason I go on

You are my dreams

You are my fears

You are the tears spared in prayer



Somewhere inside ya know

Ya know I'm trembling

I've seen enough to be afraid, yea

I look at you and I

Remember myself searching

Let me prepare you for

What lies ahead



From mother to daughter

Everyday our love is so brand new

You're like no other

No one else can take the place of you

I thank God and I pray

He keeps you safe from harm

Cause when the working day is done

I long to hold you in my arms

Cause when the working day is done

I long to hold you in my arms



And I know what a woman

Has to face to survive

And I know there be some days

You have to cry

Let me wrap you in

The blanket of my love

Let me shield you



When the working day is done

I long to hold you in my arms

Cause when the working day is done

I long to hold you in my arms

Cause when the working day is done

I long to hold you in my arms



From mother to daughter
