Song Description
"Happy Mother's Day" should be given to every woman who ever had to change a diaper. This subject matter in the hands of any lesser talent would taste way too sweet, but Killian manages to invoke nostalgia and earnest feeling without making you feel like you just swallowed a cabbage patch doll.

Lyrics:
Mama said it's up to her to build a nation of leaders
For that:
Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day
Mama always said
Gotta take that risk
If you ain't got the will to lose
Then you ain't got the will to win
Happy Mother's Day, Momma
Happy Mother's Day, Momma
Happy Mother's Day, Momma
Happy Mother's Day, Momma
Momma, Momma, Momma, That's my Momma
I love you
