January and the air is cold
Been a while since I heard my mother’s tone
Yet I know when I need her most
She lends me her shoulder
Carries my grief like hidden sin
Even through the times I wouldn’t let her in
Now I’ll never make the same mistake every again
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Of a kind-hearted mother
To make a weak man dig down deep and find the strength from somewhere
To withstand more than he can
Without her care
Lately I’ve been calling home, speaking to my brothers on the phone
And we laugh as we’re looking back over our shoulders
Laughing ‘bout games that we played to win
And how we wouldn’t let each other in
And how we’ll never make the same mistakes ever again
It’s hard to think there was a time when I believed I would never see a future
Now I can’t see anything clearer
So tonight I’m coming home, can’t bear to think of you lying there alone
I’ll stroke your hair and I’ll kiss your back, then right up over your shoulder
Dive into your world like it’s gonna end, like I may never get the chance again
Everybody needs somebody on whom they can depend
Sometimes it takes a little planning
And a whole lot of understanding
To make a weak man dig down deep and find the strength from somewhere
To withstand more than he can
Without her care
Sometimes it takes a strong hand
(kind hearted mother)
Sometimes it takes a strong hand
(of a kind hearted brother)
Sometimes it takes a strong hand
(of a kind hearted woman)
Sometimes it takes a strong hand
