Yvonne Breathnach - Mother and Child Lyrics

I have seen her in the laughter and the loneliest of times
She is there before and after in the mother and the child
And for my part I've felt her heart beat in my mind


She is there in every season every feeling I have felt
She is each and every reason a beginning and an end
And in my soul I've always known her as a friend


And it seems to me that I have seen
Her face in every page I ever wrote
I even dream I hear her voice
In every word and every note
And all along in every song
I'm reaching for her hand to take me home
Take me home


We have seen ourselves as children, we were ageless in our youth
We have been forevers minions we are timeless, we are true
What we hold was never old and never new


Like a mystery in twilight when there's little there to see
Or a symphony in silence she is simple and complete
Hand in hand I understand and I believe
