Lyrics for Mother

You taught me oh so well / Spoke of heaven, not of hell / Showed me how to give and care / Taught me of the world out there

Mother, mother, mother / Mother, mother, mother / Mother, mother, mother

Sweetness shining like the sun / Hold a place for everyone / In your heart as big as the sky / With a twinkle in your eye

Mother, mother, mother / Mother, mother, mother / Mother, mother, mother / Can you hear?

Like a saint the angels smile / Walking strong all the while / Spend your time with God in prayer / Asking for His hand out there

Mother, mother, mother / Mother, mother, mother / Mother, mother, mother

In your life all I see / Loving kindness and mercy / Reaching out to those around / Making sure that love abounds

Mother, mother, mother / Mother, mother, mother / Mother, mother, mother / Can you hear me cry? / Can you hear me cry? / Can you hear?

Let Me Rise was recorded in Quito, Ecuador over the course of 6 months. Most of these songs were written while Vanessa was living in South America and feature the musical stylings of artists from several different countries. Driven by Vanessa's distinctive arrhythmic guitar picking and unique voice, this is an album that has stories to tell.
