A working mother, I am
Walking away, my heart behind

A heavy price I pay
For the money I make

When he called out 'mama'
I was not always around

When she took her first steps
Not me, who held her hands

No I am not being mean
And it's not just need

Finding their foot, alone
Becoming stronger than most

It's a choice I have to make
To fulfill and achieve our dreams

A future secure for the family
A balance to strive and keep
