lyrics

Three kids asleep sitting next to her
Trying her best to
Act like the train don’t smell like a restroom
On her way to work wearing perfume
I’m leaned back on the door watching her through
A crowd full of strangers in commute
I don’t even know what she’s been through
I don’t even know what she’s been through

There’s something in her face
A luminescence, a calm devotion
I’m imagining her day
All the love and labor that goes unnoticed

Mama holds her baby tight
Cause she knows it’s gonna be a bumpy ride
Still a ways to go before we arrive
We praise her, praise her
Illuminator

I’m wondering if she fears all will fail
If she lets up for a moment
I’m wondering if she blames
Blames herself for things she can't control
And there is something in her face
A luminescence, a calm devotion
I’m imagining her day
All the love and labor that goes unnoticed

Mama holds her baby tight
Cause she knows it’s gonna be a bumpy ride
Still a ways to go before we arrive
We praise her, praise her
Illuminator

Ooo she’s just like my mother
Her light, warm on my face
Ooo she’s just like my mother
Ooo carrying me away
