Synopsis[]
Rebecca Parham and Nacie sing an ode to Rebecca's mother.
Lyrics[]
- Rebecca Parham:
Who is there to pick me up whenever I fall down?
Who dries my tears and holds me tight to wipe away my frown?
Who raised me well in laid down rules?
Who taught me right from wrong so I could lead a hearty life-
- Nacie: Of debauchery and thongs?
- Rebecca Parham:
My dearest mother I owe you much
Much more than you will know.
- Nacie: To be precise, the bill has grown to about a million or so.
- Rebecca Parham:
Healthy habits and key life skills
Wise words I can recall.
- Nacie: Though clearly stated by her room she didn't listen at all.
- Rebecca Parham: Nacie-
- Nacie:
When troubles came, you backed her up
And you stand beside her still
So she might learn from her mistakes
Though we know she never will.
- Rebecca Parham: Excuse me!
We've had our laughs!
We've had our tears...
True hurdles we have seen...
- Nacie:
And they may not have been as high
If she weren't a drama queen.
- Rebecca Parham:
Your strength inspires your nerve ignites
An example you have set
For making it through life alive
And leaving few regrets.
- Nacie:
As mothers go, we know so few
That support insanity
Though with patience and true grit
You've survived commendably
You know her world though it is strange
And help her to excel I know you get inside her head
'Cause I'm in there as well
- Rebecca Parham:
Animation, songs and shows. So many different plans.
My greatest works could not do without my biggest fan.
For everything you've done I hope one day I can reward,
With love and strength and happiness
- Nacie: And whatever else she can't afford.
- Rebecca Parham: And so to you, we say with love, happy Mother's Day.
- Nacie: She may not be the perfect child...
- Rebecca Parham: ...but thanks for loving me anyways.
