當年 還沒張開惺忪雙眼 是誰輕輕擦拭我的臉
日夜付出 沒有怨言
然而我太小 不相信是為我好
關心讓我逃跑 只想長大不再被打擾

事情開始變了模樣不能掌控
小小的我無法理解他的衝動
大人的世界好不同

媽媽的愛 家就是有你的地方
你給的愛 慌亂的心不再流浪
媽媽的愛 要如何用一生去還
再多的 擁抱和陪伴也還不完

今天 經歷了多一點 慢慢了解一切
終於懂得現實的危險
而你的信念 鼓勵著我向前 追逐夢想那一天
離家多遠 你總把我放心裡面

世界太大 充滿謊話 真真假假
獨自一人 反覆練習你的話
長大了我卻好害怕

媽媽的愛 家就是有你的地方
你給的愛 慌亂的心不再流浪
媽媽的愛 但願能陪我到永久
到最後 誰能像你毫無保留
曾犯了錯 多少次你仍選擇原諒
溫柔地說 孩子你不曾讓我失望
如今我帶著你的愛前往
沒有到不了的方向

媽媽的愛 要如何用一生去還
再多的 傾聽和溫暖 擁抱和陪伴
也還不完

English Translation:
I still remember the gentle face that greeted me each morning,
Her selfless giving, never complaining.
Too young to realize that all she did was for my own good,
A mother’s concern mistaken as my frustrations, all I wanted was to grow up and be free.

Years passed, life got complicated,
The little me could never understand his impulses.
An adult’s world is just so different.

A mother’s love, home is where you are.
The love you give warms my wandering heart.
A mother’s love, how will I ever repay in this life,
No amount of hugs or days spent together can ever return the love you gave.

Today, having learnt from life’s experiences, I finally understand
The harshness of reality.
However, your faith always leads me forward, encouraging me to pursue my dreams.
No matter how far I may be, you always keep me in your heart.

The world is a scary place, full of lies and disguise.
Whenever I feel alone, I find myself recalling your guidance.
Now as a grown up, I still have many fears.

A mother’s love, home is where you are.
The love you give warms my wandering heart.
I wish a mother’s love will stay with me forever,
Because in the end, there is no who loves me like you do.

Regardless of my mistakes, you always forgive.
The reassuring voice that says, “my child, you have never let me down”.
Now I am ready to go forward with your love,
There is nothing that I cannot conquer.
