Lyrics of You've been like a mother to me

She's seen me through lots of troubles
She's stayed up nights so i could sleep
She's given me more than comfort
She's given me something i can keep

I love her and i need her
And i want to be with her all the time
I'd fight just to keep her
And i'd die if i thought she wasn't mine

I love her every morning
Thank god for her every night
I worship the ground she stands on
And i stand on the ground, she'll be alright

When you need me, you know i'll be there
'cause you've always been there for me
America, god knows i love you
'cause youve been like a mother to me

America, we've been through troubles
And we'll make it again, just wait and see
America, god knows i love you
'cause youve been like a mother to me

America, stand up and show it
That you're proud of the red, white and blue
You love her and you know it
'cause she's been like a mother to you

America, stand up and show it
That you're proud of the red, white and blue
You love her and you know it
'cause she's been like a mother to you

'cause she's been like a mother to you
America
