Lyrics
Your mom has written you a letter son
She's full of hopes and fears
It's everything she wants you to know
That you don't wanna hear
She knows that you don't care to talk
Sincerity makes you blush
She?s written ?pearls? to guide you along
Maybe one day you'll want to discuss
Be kind, be humble and laugh a lot
Being wrong sometimes is right
Be clean, it smells good and be honest as Abe would
And popular doesn?t always mean nice
Learn to listen to yourself and others
But question authority
Except for the people in your life
Who love you more than anything
Study hard then have some fun
But learnin' never stops
What seems so dull and boring now
May one day fill your thoughts
And lastly if you ever need a friend or
Some motherly advice
Just read this letter that you have today
But a phone call would be nice
Your mom has written you a letter son
She's full of hopes and fears
It's everything she wants you to know
That you don't wanna hear
