88 - Mom

When all the world is spinning roundLike a red balloon way up in the cloudsAnd my feet will not stay on the groundYou anchor me back down
I am nearly world renownedAs a restless soul who always skips townBut I look for you to come aroundAnd anchor me back down
There are those who think that I'm strangeThey would box me up, and tell me to changeBut you hold me close and softly sayThat you wouldn't have me any other way
When people pin me as a clownYou behave as though I'm wearing a crownWhen I'm lost I feel so very foundWhen you anchor me back down
There are those who think that I'm strangeThey would box me up, and tell me to changeBut you hold me close and softly sayThat you wouldn't have me any other way
When all the world is spinning roundLike a red balloon way up in the cloudsand my feet will not stay on the groundYou anchor me back down
Anchor, Mindy Gledhill 

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.


You Raise Me Up, Josh Groban 



Love you, Mom. I wouldn't be who I am today without you. 


Happy Mother's Day.
