Tara

The flicker of the screen on a quiet night

Watching our favorite movies in the living room light

You always had the patience just to sit and stay

Chasing all the shadows of the world away

You wrapped me in a love that felt so safe and sound

Whenever I was falling, you kept me on the ground

Oh, Mom, you are the rock I lean upon

Protective and supportive when my strength is nearly gone

You’re the most uplifting soul I've ever known

A steady kind of shelter that I get to call my home

I just want to say I love you, for all the things you do

Tara, I am who I am because of you

We’d clear off the kitchen table and shuffle up the deck

You taught me how to hold my own and keep my fears in check

Dealing out the cards as the hours slipped away

You listened to my stories and the things I couldn't say

You never tried to rush me, you always took your time

Cheering from the sidelines, helping me to climb

Oh, Mom, you are the rock I lean upon

Protective and supportive when my strength is nearly gone

You’re the most uplifting soul I've ever known

A steady kind of shelter that I get to call my home

I just want to say I love you, for all the things you do

Tara, I am who I am because of you

Through every single chapter, you’ve been my steady breeze

You lift my heavy heart and put my worried mind at ease

A mother and a champion, the best hand I was dealt

I want to make sure every ounce of gratitude is felt

Oh, Mom, you are the rock I lean upon

Protective and supportive when my strength is nearly gone

You’re the most uplifting soul I've ever known

A steady kind of shelter that I get to call my home

I just want to say I love you, for all the things you do

Tara, I am who I am because of you

Yeah, I love you, Mom, I really do
