A song about mothers

Lyrics

"I'll Come Running"
Verse 1:
In a shadowy bedroom filled with dolls
My voice cried out in fear
And I cowered beneath the covers
Till I heard my mama drawing near.
She said, ?Sweetheart, what?s the matter??
And I clung to her in dread,
And when I told her I?d seen monsters,
She stroked my hair and she said?

Chorus 1:
?Though you can?t see it now dear,
If you look with your heart
You?ll see there are angels all around you,
Guarding you in the dark.
Just remember Jesus loves you,
And Mama loves you too,
And any time you call I?ll come running,
?Cause that?s what mamas do.?

Verse 2:
In that same little bedroom years ahead,
Now with posters on my wall,
I was sitting alone with my teardrops
When she came in from the outside hall.
She said, ?Sweetheart, what?s the matter??
And I clung to her again.
?Mom, I loved him and he broke my heart.?
And she stroked my hair and she said?

Chorus 2:
?Though you can?t see it now dear,
If you look with your heart
You?ll see God?s arms are wrapped around you
Holding you in the dark.
Just remember Jesus loves you,
And Mama loves you too,
And any time you call I?ll come running,
?Cause that?s what mamas do.?

Bridge:
Through the years she?s been there, time after time, to wipe away the hurt,
And I?ve come to think of Mama as God?s messenger on earth.

Verse 3:
In another girl?s bedroom filled with dolls,
A voice cried out in fear,
And I rushed to my child?s bedside
To wipe away her frightened tears.
She told me she?d seen monsters
And she clung to me in dread,
And I prayed that I?d get it right
As I stroked her hair and said?
