Le Tu Quang - For Mother

You gave me permission to breathe, you gave me light
Through sixteen years you have still serve me right
You're not ashame of raising this baby
Whom was troublesome, a pain and was lazy
Beaten up from the older school boys during my fight
You asked me why I'm bruised but I just lied that night
Always know in my heart I'll be safe with this lady
but if I'm to fail life, would I still be part of your family?
When young and was in trouble, mother you hit me so strong
now those hits were weaker, mother what went wrong?
I noticed the white hair fitting in with the other
Everytime I picked one out of your head it just grows another
Mother's getting old but I'm still your same grown-up son
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you've done
Your smile so bright it lights up the darkness in space
Ain't another woman alive that could take my mother's place
Always give in everything to make sure I'll be a better man
Didn't seem like you care but for happiness you've always got a plan
I regret & apologise for the times when I was of a bother
Especially for those dramas when I blame anger on my mother
But at your lowest time when you are feeling like nothing, like zero
Please do remember dearly that you'll always be my mother... my hero
