This World Is Lucky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a porch light always burning On a road that leads back home A kitchen full of laughter Where nobody's ever alone One son and four daughters Grew up brave inside your arms [Chorus] Happy birthday, Mommy You're the heartbeat of our home You taught us love that has no conditions So we'll never stand alone God sent an angel down here to us With a heart of purest gold [Verse 2] You and Daddy showed us every day What forever love could be Now all seventeen grandbabies Feel it in each hug and squeeze You're still our greatest cheerleader Every ounce of you believes [Chorus] Happy birthday, Mommy You're the heartbeat of our home You taught us love that has no conditions So we'll never stand alone God sent an angel down here to us With a heart of purest gold [Bridge] You've fought a thousand battles and you won You worked two jobs, then you worked three You said goodbye to Daddy, and you cried But you still stood tall for me [Verse 3] You taught us how to forgive To stand together all as one Your faith became our anchor Your hope our rising sun Your legacy keeps growing in us And we'll thank God for you all our days [Chorus] Happy birthday, Mommy You're the heartbeat of our home You taught us love that has no conditions So we'll never stand alone Oh, this world is lucky to have you With your heart of purest gold [Outro] Blow the candles out tonight Make a wish and say a prayer You're beautiful inside and out And our love will always be right there
