Name: Song for Mums
Duration: P00H02M48S
Description: I wrote this song for Mums as a 'thank you' for all they do for us. It's an ode to Mums, past and present, young or old, because I feel they deserve recognition for their hard work and love.. I asked for images of Mothers and their children via a Facebook post and received many photos, which I put together to create a slideshow-type video for the song, which I released on Mother's Day.

lyrics

Who’s there to keep us clean
To ask us how our day has been
To wash our face, do up our lace
Protect us is someone is being mean
It’s our Mum

Who’s there to tuck us in
Remind us to use the rubbish bin
To cook our tea, to kiss our knee
When it got scraped while climbing up a tree?
Well, it’s our Mum

Who’s there to catch us when we fall?
Who’s there to watch us do a handstand against the wall?
Who’s there to wipe away our tears
Or to sew back on our Teddy Bear’s ears?
It’s our Mum

Who’s there to tickle our toes
To wipe our very snotty nose
To make our bed, to keep us fed
To change us when we’ve chosen our own clothes?
Well it’s our Mum

Who’s there to hurry us
When we are late for the school bus
To teach us things, to make us wings
And capes and other dress-up kind of things?
Well it’s our Mum

Who’s there to catch us when we fall?
Who’s there to watch us do a handstand against the wall?
Who’s there to wipe away our tears
Or to sew back on our Teddy Bear’s ears?
It’s our Mum

Who’s there to remind us to
Brush our teeth or flush the loo
To eat our tea, to do a wee
To finish our homework when it’s nearly due?
Well it’s our Mum

We love you Mum

Cos you’re out Mum

Thank you Mum
