Every Day My Mother’s Voice

[Verse 1: Paul Kelly]
Every day, the sun comes up
Like the day before
Every day, I fill my cup
Stand up straight and walk through the door
Every day, my mother's voice
Talks to me
Every day, I make my choice
What to do and how to be

[Verse 2: Dan Sultan]
And every day, I build my life
On her sacrifice
And every day, I face my strife
But I know where to go for advice
Ooh, many roads I could've walked down
Many, many ways to disappear
And every day, I hear the sound
Of her voice right by my ear
So clear, so clear

[Chorus 1: Both]
She taught me to be strong
Well, I guess I got lucky
Now I've got a dance and I've got a song
They can't take that away from me

[Chorus 2: Both, Dan Sultan]
Every day, every day
Every day, I hear my mother's voice

[Verse 3: Paul Kelly & Dan Sultan]
Every night, the stars come up
Like the night before
And every night, I drain my cup
Lay me down and close the door

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 2: Dan Sultan, Paul Kelly, Both]
Every day, I hear my mother's voice
Every day, I hear my mother's voice
Every day
Every day, I hear my mother's voice
I hear my mother's voice
Every day, I hear my mother's voice
Every day, I hear my mother's voice
Every day, I hear my mother's voice
Every day
