Mr. J Medeiros - Call You lyrics

Seventy hours a week It amazes me the power in her feet With no sleep she raised me A co*ktail waitress with three babies Who will not fail in a race to try and save me From humiliation pain and heartache And still I don't hesitate to learn it the hard way She knows she can't control that But I love her every effort It just shows where her souls at And I know that she hated our poverty And the clothes donated by the Salvation Army Honestly I stare at her honorably She's more then a mom to me Whole-heartedly I say that Knowing there is no pay back For those who are constantly giving I just pray that she knows that I care and love her I see the cross she bares As she walks through the struggle And still she remains humble in uncertainty As her life changed with two major brain surgeries And an insurance agency she gotta argue with To get the medicine she needs inside her arteries And though it's hard for me To understand just how she does it I know I'm a better man because of it So many cracks that us people can fall through Yet the love of your mother still calls you Father is an ex-marine And for my moms I know he'd drop everything Reading psalms he'd stop and try to tell me things He knew I wouldn't understand Until I got inside the hell of things And the bell would ring and I would go rounds Fighting on a similar road he had to go down Without him I'd have no sound no soul And definitely no rock and roll Regardless of the copies I sold he still backs me Reaching for that level as the devil keeps attacking me Is this how it has to be Well if it happens to you then it happens to me He said that's the meaning of family Form a team of the people you love understand me He always knew that there was more to me Supporting me Rea**uring me to be proud of being Portuguese And though I'm sure that he Don't understand just how I love him The conversation we had and how I learned from them Contemplating with dad on how the worlds turning Concentrating on the good When the bad is hurting someone I heard from someone We are the light that shines through And it helps to know your family is right behind you So many cracks that us people can fall through Yet the love of your father still calls you
