My mother has always been so strong
never realizing when I do wrong
always fighting for what is right
never wanting to say goodnight
My mother has always been there
keeping the bad men away from here
always striving for the best
she never settled for second best
My mother is a talented soul
never believing in being a mole
Always keeping the future in sight
always willing to doing what's right
So on this day dear mother of mine
I hope that you will have a wonderful time
never doubting the future ahead
for I am always with you in stead
I love you so very much
Never let us stay out of touch
Happy Birthday I do wish
and I give you a great big kiss

To my momma Susan
Through the eyes of a pirate I might be
A sunset on the ocean's seas.
Through the eyes of a pirate I shall be
A dolphin singing a little off key
Through the eyes of a pirate I will buy
A killer wave up to the sky
Through the eyes of a pirate I can do
Just about anything I want too
