Dear Young Mother ft. Meg Ammons Lyrics

Dear young mother

I know we've never met

I saw you sitting there in a folding chair

With a baby on your lap

Twenty years old give or take a few

Something in your eyes said more about your life

Than your words could ever do

What you've been through

What you've been through

Tomorrow's a new day

Who knows the things you'll face

As you continue on along this journey

I pray you find a home

Where you feel safe and you belong

In the end your heart will be at peace

But dear young mother

For tonight I pray you sleep

Dear young mother

I wonder where you're from

I think about your story if you have a family

or if you're all alone

It must've been hard you must've been afraid

Are you having nightmares?

Has it been a nightmare getting to this place?

What you've been through

What you've been through

Tomorrow's a new day

Who knows the things you'll face

As you continue on along this journey

I pray you find a home

Where you feel safe and you belong

In the end your heart will be at peace

But dear young mother

For tonight I pray you sleep

You're one of the brave ones

You're one of the brave ones

All that you've done

Because of love

You're one of the brave ones

You're one of the brave ones

All that you've done

Because of love

Tomorrow's a new day

Who knows the things you'll face

As you continue on along this journey

I pray you find a home

Where you feel safe and you belong

In the end your heart will be at peace

But dear young mother

For tonight I pray you sleep
