Behind the Lyric: “God Made A Mother” When I wrote these lyrics, I wanted to highlight and put emphasis on the appreciation that fathers have for the mothers of their children. The song begins with a father’s admission; the father speaking to God. Verse 1: "I can’t," “I can’t raise the little thing all by myself.” and Verse 2: "I won’t,” “I won’t bring the little thing up all by myself”. Verses 1 and 2 aren't about a lack of capability, they are actually about the honor of recognition. It’s the man realizing that while he can provide, protect, and love, there is a specific frequency of nurture, or a "divine" element, that only a mother carries. It’s an appreciation for the men who stand back in awe of what a woman does and can realize that God created mothers to fill the gaps that only mothers can fill. To all the men who see the "heavy hearts" and the "tired feet" and say thank you, this song is one for your entire family. “God Made A Mother” is available now on streaming platforms. more
