About

to my mom on her birthday

Lyrics

Verse 1

Kitchen floor

Scrubbed clean and cold

You kept us

Warm and brave

Priscilla

You picked the weeds

Fed the birds

Built a home from just a heavy heavy heart

Chorus

Happy birthday Mom

Happy birthday Mom

I love you

I love you

I love you

Priscilla my queen

Priscilla my anchor

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Momma momma

Yeah yeah

Verse 2

Sundays

Laundry lines

Waving white like flags in the wind

The yard

Frozen solid

But you grew roses through the grey cement

Patience

Power

Peace

Chorus

Happy birthday Mom

Happy birthday Mom

I love you

I love you

I love you

Priscilla my queen

Priscilla my anchor

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Momma momma

Yeah yeah

Bridge

Time moves fast

Time moves loud

Time moves on

But your hands

Stay steady

When the roof starts leaking

When the world starts shaking

Chorus

Happy birthday Mom

Happy birthday Mom

I love you

I love you

I love you

Priscilla my queen

Priscilla my anchor

Outro

Best woman

Strongest woman

My woman

Priscilla

Priscilla

Happy birthday

Mom
