about

written for my mother who brought up 11 children and many grand and great grand children encouraging each to blossom in their own way!

lyrics

My mother brings out the flowers on the trees
She still going strong at the age of 93
Sometimes she’s a pain but a pain one must agree
Brings out the best in you, brings out the best in me

My mother ain’t afraid to laugh, ain’t afraid to kick your ass
Not afraid to call you out and look you in the eye
She’s got so many children to rustle up and hold close
But when it’s time to let you fly you’re the one she loves the most

My mom gets her power from the power of the sun
And spreads it around to all her kids each and everyone
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, give a rousing cheer
There’s fire in the kitchen whenever ma is near

Fiddling on a fiddle, her twisted fingers sing
Struggling with broken piano keys and the pleasure that music brings
Encore elle jouez un musique a bouche
Et clac a clac tous ses pieds
Sometimes she grabs a hammer, and gets up on that step ladder
Oh my god she’s 93 get her off that step ladder

My mom gets her power from the power of the sun
And spreads it around to all her kids each and everyone
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, give a rousing cheer
There’s fire in the kitchen whenever ma is near

Fill your world with business fill your world with worldly chores
Filled your world with life’s demands, opening and closing doors.
When your life gets filled right up and gets too much for you
Fill your world with mama and you fill your world a new

My mom gets her power from the power of the sun
And spreads it around to all her kids each and everyone
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, give a rousing cheer
There’s fire in the kitchen whenever ma is near

There’s fire in the kitchen whenever mom is near
She don’t put up with dirty talk so get it out of here

My mom gets her power from the power of the sun
And spreads it around to all her kids each and everyone
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, give a rousing cheer
There’s fire in the kitchen whenever ma is near

Theres fire in the kitchen whenever ma is near
I Said “My mother brings out the flowers and the trees”
