A little child is born to its mother
God's creation welcomes another soul
It's a wonder how we all survive
The pitfalls and the bumpy rides that line
Life's old road


But soon we're given to understand
That a mother's loving hand is life itself
Goodness found a home in her
Then she passed it on to others selflessly
And so lovingly

(Chorus): She was there when I needed a shoulder
Always there with her soothing words
She was there with her chalice of kindness
Overflowing with love
One day you'll rest, my mother
Mi madre milagrosa
Mother of miracles
Mi madre milagrosa

Jesus built his church on Peter
But our rock was none other than you
Fatima, Lourdes, and Lazarus
Miracles all but they just can't compare to you
The marvel of you

'Cause you were there when I needed a shoulder
Always there with your soothing words
You were there with your chalice of kindness
Overflowing with love
One day you'll rest, my mother
Mi madre milagrosa
Mother of miracles
Mi madre milagrosa

(Bridge):
Few mothers ever get recognized
But they deserve to be canonized
Let us pray for our dearly departed
She's earned her place
Straight in the heart of Him
Deep within

'Cause you were there when I needed a shoulder
Always there with your soothing words
You were there with your chalice of kindness
Overflowing with love
One day you'll rest, my mother
Mi madre milagrosa
Mother of miracles
Mi madre milagrosa

Go with God, my mother
Mi madre milagrosa
Mother of miracles
Mi madre milagrosa
