Mother’s Day
This is for all you Mothers out there with 8 arms full of Love
Lyrics
Title: Eight Arms Full of Love
[Verse 1]
She wakes up to a marching band
Of toys across the floor,
A toddler with a battle cry,
A dog behind the door.
The timer starts complaining,
There are socks up in the sky,
But Mom just smiles and somehow says,
“I’ve got it, don’t ask why.”
[Pre-Chorus]
She’s texting with one finger,
Flipping pancakes with a grin,
Vacuum roaring through the hallway,
While the morning rush rolls in.
[Chorus]
She’s got eight arms full of love,
Spinning through the day,
Catching every little crisis
Before it gets away.
She’s got laundry stacked high,
Mascara in motion,
A screaming little toddler,
And a heart as deep as the ocean.
Oh, she’s the queen of the madness,
The smile above the storm,
Eight arms full of love
Keeping everybody warm.
[Verse 2]
One hand finds the missing shoe,
One hand saves a toy,
One hand holds the grocery bag,
One hand hugs a noisy boy.
One hand wipes a tiny tear,
One hand signs a note,
One hand stops the dog from eating
Something from a coat.
[Pre-Chorus]
There are crayons on the sofa,
Blocks beneath her toes,
A mystery smell in the laundry
That no one wants to know.
[Chorus]
She’s got eight arms full of love,
Spinning through the day,
Catching every little crisis
Before it gets away.
She’s got laundry stacked high,
Mascara in motion,
A screaming little toddler,
And a heart as deep as the ocean.
Oh, she’s the queen of the madness,
The smile above the storm,
Eight arms full of love
Keeping everybody warm.
[Bridge]
Not all heroes wear capes,
Some wear fuzzy bunny shoes,
Some can calm a tiny thundercloud
While reading five bad news.
She can find your lost homework,
Your charger, and your pride,
And somehow know you’re fibbing
From three whole rooms inside.
[Final Chorus]
She’s got eight arms full of love,
And a laugh that lights the room,
Turning all the wild confusion
Into flowers in bloom.
She’s got pancakes flying,
Laundry stacked high,
A thousand little miracles
Before the morning sky.
So here’s to Mom, the legend,
The heart of every place,
Eight arms full of love
And a smile upon her face.
[Outro]
Eight arms full of love,
A miracle from the start.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom,
You’re the whole world’s heart.
