After spending 3 hours with a SW discussing (sobbing over) my non-ID information with her, I went to my car and this song was playing on the radio. The video uses the dad-figure, but in my mind, this song was written for me and my mom.

Lyrics:
I dont know how I survived
In this cold and empty world for all this time
I only know that Im alive
Because you love me

When I recall what Ive been through
Theres some things
That I wish I didnt do
Now I do the things I do
Because you love me

And now that youre in my life
Im so glad Im alive
cause you showed me the way
And I know now how good it can be
Because you love me

And now that youre in my life
Oh, Im so glad Im alive
cause you showed me the way
And I know now how good it can be
Because you love me

I believe in things unseen
I believe in the message of a dream
And I believe in what you are
Because you love me

With all my heart and all my soul
Im loving you and I never will let go
And every day Ill let it show
Because you love me
Because you love me
Because you love me

My other "mom-song"

There is another song that always makes me cry and think about the times when I was little and I would cry in bed, praying to God, wishing and asking Him if he would send me my mom back so she could take me home and make everything all better. 

I remember how some nights crying was the only way I could/would finally go to sleep.

 [Melissa Etheridge sang this song in the film, Brother Bear 2, but a more mature version of the video can be found here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc_T6QWK_fw]

Even as a grown woman, and mother myself, I wish these were words my mom could have said to me...

If you hear a voice in the middle of the night
Sayin’ it’ll be alright
It will be me

If you feel a hand guiding you along
When the path seems wrong
It will be me

There is no mountain that I can’t climb
For you I’d swim through the rivers of time
As you go your way and I go mine
A light will shine
And it will be me

If there is a key that goes to your heart
A special part
It will be me

If you need a friend
Call out to the wind
To hold you again
It will be me

Oh how the world seems so unfair
Creating a love that can not be shared
As you go your way and I go mine
A light will shine
And it will be me

Past the ever after there’s a place for two
In your tears of laughter
I’ll be there for you

In the sun and the moon
In the land and the sea
Look all around you
It will be me

There is no mountain that I can’t climb
For you I’d swim through the rivers of time
As you go your way and I go mine
A light will shine
And it will be me
It will be me
It will be me...
