**"In Her Footsteps"** *(Mother’s Day Song from Daughters to Mothers)* **Verse 1:** You held my hand when I was small, Taught me how to stand up tall. With every story, every scar, You showed me just how strong you are. Your laughter filled the empty space, Your love, a warm and endless grace. Now here I stand, a part of you, Trying to make your dreams come true. **Chorus:** I’m walking in her footsteps, tracing every line, Learning from her courage, hoping I’ll define The kindness in her heart, the fire in her soul, A legacy of love—that’s my greatest goal. For all I am and all I’ll be, Is rooted in the heart she gave to me. **Verse 2:** You faced the storms with fearless eyes, Built your dreams beneath open skies. You taught me more than words could say— How to rise when skies turn gray. I see your strength in every fight, Your wisdom shining like a light. And though I stumble, though I fall, Your voice still guides me through it all. **Chorus:** I’m walking in her footsteps, tracing every line, Learning from her courage, hoping I’ll define The kindness in her heart, the fire in her soul, A legacy of love—that’s my greatest goal. For all I am and all I’ll be, Is rooted in the heart she gave to me. **Bridge:** If I could be half the woman you are, With your gentle heart and your battle scars, I’d know I’ve lived, I’d know I’ve grown, Carrying pieces of you in my own. **Chorus (Final):** I’m walking in her footsteps, tracing every line, Learning from her courage, hoping I’ll define The kindness in her heart, the fire in her soul, A legacy of love—that’s my greatest goal. For all I am and all I’ll be, Is rooted in the heart she gave to me. **Outro:** So here’s to you on Mother’s Day, Your love, your light will never fade. In her footsteps, I will go— With all the love you’ve helped me grow.
[Verse] Unter der alten Eiche Wo die Schatten tanzen leis Sitze ich und lausche Einem sanften Stillen Reis Blätter flüstern Lieder Von vergangenen Tagen In dem Wispern alter Zeiten Wo die Herzen klagen [Verse 2] Da war ein Mann Ein Wanderer Mit Träumen in den Augen Zog durch ferne Länder Stets die Freiheit zu saugen Seine Lieder sind geblieben Wie die Wege Die er ging Von der Freiheit und der Liebe Die verflogen wie ein Ding [Chorus] Oh Die alte Eiche Erzähl mir mehr von ihm Von den Fabeln und den Märchen Die im Winde zieh'n Flüster mir die Weisheit Alter Bäume Wort für Wort Von der Zeit und all den Wundern Die im Schatten dort [Verse 3] Es war ein kalter Winter Als der Wanderer verwehrt Unter Eichenblatt und Schnee Sich ein Herz beschwert Dicht bei seiner Melodie Schlief er schließlich ein Mit den Liedern seiner Seele Allein und doch nicht allein [Chorus] Oh Die alte Eiche Erzähl mir mehr von ihm Von den Fabeln und den Märchen Die im Winde zieh'n Flüster mir die Weisheit Alter Bäume Wort für Wort Von der Zeit und all den Wundern Die im Schatten dort [Bridge] Seh ich in die Zukunft Knie zu Marken in der Rind' Finde ich den Geist des Wandrers In des Baumes Wind Seine Lieder bleiben ewig Fest im Herzen drin Unter dieser alten Eiche Wo ich ganz bei mir bin
