Riley Roth – When God Made You My Mother

I bet you could've used a minute
Just a little time alone
But you let me be your little shadow
Followin' wherever you would go
Then I got a little older
And you gave me space to grow
I don't ever seem to tell you enough, but

I bet you could've used a minute
Just a little time alone
But you let me be your little shadow
Followin' wherever you would go
Then I got a little older
And you gave me space to grow
I don't ever seem to tell you enough, but
I want you to know
When God made you, my mother
He knew who I'd need
When he picked you from the others
He could already see
That you would be my hero
And everything I wanna be
When God made you, my mother
He was bein' good to me
I come to you with all my secrets
And you never, ever judge
And when I'm fallin' in my weakness
You give me strength to stand back up
No amount of miles could separate us
No place where I don't feel your love
You say I'm the gift that Heaven gave ya
But mama, I'm the lucky one
'Cause when God made you, my mother
He knew who I'd need When he picked you from the others
He could already see
That you would be my hero
And everything I wanna be
When God made you, my mother
He was bein' good to me
If I'm ever a mother, I wanna be like you
If he picks me from the others
I'm gonna try to fill your shoes
'Cause mama you're my hero
And everything I wanna be
When God made you, my mother
He was bein' good to me
Yeah, he was bein' good to me
