Best 16 Mother's Day Songs for Kids

Many songs have been written about mothers and their special day in their honor. We have done the search for you and we have chosen the best Mother’s Day songs of the following collection. The tunes we have chosen are easy enough, both in terms of melody and lyrics, for children to sing in a celebration dedicated to moms.

The songs also give us the opportunity to discuss with children about the relationship with the mother. She is the one who hugs us, takes care of us every day, and she deserves a lot. Most of the time she takes care not only of the children, but of the whole family. Whether determined or smiling, she is the person who wishes the best for us.

She symbolizes trust, every child finds refuge in her arms, and, of course, she has an inexhaustible love for each and every one of her children. In her honor, once a year we dedicate gifts, kisses and songs. In many countries around the world, her celebration is set for the second Sunday of May, when nature is abounding in spring colors, fertility and joy.

Listen to the songs and find the lyrics under each video. The first songs are aimed at younger children, as the melodies and lyrics are simpler. Following are songs for older children or for a choir.

She holds me when I’m scared or sad
She understands when I’m bad

Hey Mama (The Hound and the Fox)

It’s been a long day
But we’ve come a long way
Wouldn’t you say
Mama, are you okay?

Look what I made you
I coloured it blue
Just like the sky
Like you taught me to

And I’ve been chasing some dragons
You’ve been pushing my wagon
And it’s been grand
Like you say I am

Hey mama
I love you
Just the way you are
To the moon and past the stars
Hey mama
I see you
No matter how far
You’re the song inside my heart

And I would never change a thing
’cause you make me sing
Hey mama

Looks like it’s raining
We’re inside playing
And you do it best
Turn a storm into a quest

You say it’s lights out
There’s so much
I can’t stop thinking about
Put your patience to the test

And I’ve been crazy and daring
You’ve been loving and caring
And it’s been grand
Like you say I am

Hey mama
I love you
Just the way you are
To the moon and past the stars
Hey mama
I see you
No matter how far
You’re the song inside my heart

And I would never change a thing
’cause you make me sing
Hey mama

Hey mama

Hey mama
I love you
Just the way you are
To the moon and past the stars
Hey mama
I see you
No matter how far
You’re the song inside my heart

And I would never change a thing
’cause you make me sing
Hey mama

More Than Enough (Shawna Edwards)

Maybe I’ll never know the love it takes
To make me a happy home that’s warm and safe
And maybe I’ll never see how you pray for my every need
And wonder what more you could do for me

But when you walk by my side
Read me stories at night
And teach me to trust in God’s love
You give me a hug, maybe two
And you say, “I love you”
Then I think you’re doing enough

Maybe you wonder if you’re teaching me
Every good thing that I can someday be
But all that I know of faith
And of kindness and love and strength
I’ve learned just by watching you every day

So when you stay by my side
Hear me stories at night
And teach me to trust in God’s love
You give me a hug, maybe two
And you say, “I love you”
Then I think you’re doing enough

Someday, I’ll have a home, a family
And I’ll love them just as much as you love me
Then maybe you’ll finally see
You have given enough for me
A gift that will last through eternity

So when you stay by my side
Hear my stories at night
And teach me to trust in God’s love
You give me a hug, maybe two
And you say, “I love you”
Then I think you’re more than enough
And I’m blessed every step by your love

You’re My Mom (Nick Flores)

You have given me my breath
You have given me my strength
You’ve given me everything I needed
You have shown me how to shine
You show me love all the time
And in my heart I feel it

You always show me how to face another tomorrow
And you’re always by my side

You’re my mom
There is no one else like you
You’re my mom
And you always know what to do
You’re my mom
And you know I love you too
You’re my mom

Because of you I know who I am
Because of you I know I can
Do anything that I want to
I don’t have the words to say
But I’m thankful everyday
That God has blessed me with you

You always show me how to face another tomorrow
And you’re always by my side

You’re my mom
There is no one else like you
You’re my mom
And you always know what to do
You’re my mom
And you know I love you too
You’re my mom

You’re my mom
There is no one else like you
You’re my mom
And you always know what to do
You’re my mom
And you know I love you too
You’re my mom

I’ll Always Love My Mama (The Intruders)

I’ll always love my mama
She’s my favorite girl
I’ll always love my mama
She brought me in this world

Sometimes I feel so bad
When I think of all the things I used to do
How mama used to clean somebody elses house
Just to buy me a new pair of shoes

I never understood how mama made it through the week
When she never ever got a good night’s sleep

Talking ’bout mama
She’s one of a kind
Talking ’bout mama
You’ve got your yours, and I’ve got mine
Talking ’bout mama
Oh, hey mama, hey mama, my heart belongs to you

I’ll always love my mama
She’s my favorite girl
You only get one, you only get one, yeah
I’ll always love my mama
She brought me in this world

A mother’s love is so special
It’s something that you can’t describe
It’s the kind of love that stays with you
Until the day you die

She taught me little things like “Say Hello and Thank you, please”
While scrubbing those floors on her bended knees

Talking ’bout mama
She’s one of a kind
Talking ’bout mama
You’ve got your yours and I’ve got mine
Talking ’bout mama
Oh, hey mama, hey mama, my heart belongs to you

I’ll always love my mama
She’s my favorite girl
You only get one, you only get one
I’ll always love my mama
She brought me in this world

I’ll always love my mama
I’ll always love my mama
I’ll always love my mama
I’ll always love my mama

I’ll always love my mama
I’ll always love my mama
I’ll always love my mama
I’ll always love my mama

I’ll always love my mama
She’s my favorite girl
I’ll always love my mama
She brought me in this world

I’ll always love my mama
I’ll always love my mama
I’ll always love my mama
I’ll always love my mama

I’ll always love my mama
I’ll always love my mama

A Mother’s Prayer (Celine Dion)

Can we touch the soul of heaven
Can we unite a sacred lesson
Every child creates a skylight of beauty
Can you hear cathedrals falling
All the universe is calling
Cry a single cello from your heart

Since the world has lost her way
Loneliness journey, endlessly
Yet the promised chance remains
Gift of what could be

So let the children remember the sun
Let them dance, let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer

Every voice along the shoreline
Standing still within time
Spinnin’ unresolved
Walking as each season passes
Through wonderland, through walking glasses
A secret garden shines, beckons you
Gentle flower don’t fade away
Sweet innocence still harbors thee
In the faint of golden dreams
Where one love lives eternally

Let the children remember the sun
Let them dance, let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer, prayer

Bless the children for they are the light
They are the truth of spirit in flight
Yes the children engender the rain
As the river runs through life
Healing their pain
If you could trust with your heart one more time
Sweet angel conceived
You have forever and always believed,
Prayer

Prayer, oh, prayer

Mama’s Kitchen (CeCe Winans)

I remember Saturdays helping Mama in her kitchen
Conversations prying, baking with passing down the wisdom
She said baby girl you’re a queen and this is how you should be treated
Words she washed with tears and planted in my soul

Can we just go back to the simple kinda living?
Can we just go back and maybe start from the beginning?
Back to better days, when love was for the giving
Can we just go back to the way we were?

Mama said there was a time when brothers were each others keepers
Sisters held each other close till there was nothing left between them
Back when a song was a song you could sing along didn’t matter how long
Just as long as it spoke to ya, sung to ya
Do you know what I mean?

Now I’m chasing rainbows and dreams,
Trying hard to believe
This is how it could be
Yesterday was yesterday, tomorrow’s just a day away
By then it may be too late, maybe we can start today

A Song For Mama (Boyz II Men)

You taught me everything
Everything you’ve given me
I’ll always keep it inside
You’re the driving force in my life, yeah

There isn’t anything
Or anyone that I could be
And it just wouldn’t feel right
If I didn’t have you by my side

You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were gray
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me

And no one else can be
What you have been to me you will always be
You will always be the girl
In my life for all times

Mama, Mama you know I love you
(You know I love you)
Mama, Mama you’re the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars, yes it is
Mama I just want you to know lovin’ you is like food to my soul
Yes it is, yes it is, oh, yes it is, yes it is, yes it is oh

You’re always there for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
Yes you did

And you took up for me
When everyone was downin’ me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on

There were so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you’d come to me and say to me
I can face anything

And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You’ll always be, you will always be
The girl in my life, ooh oh
Mama, Mama you know I love you
(You know I love you, you know I love you)

Mama, Mama you’re the queen of my heart, (You are)
Your love is like tears from the stars
(Your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama I just want you to know (Mama I just want you to know)
Lovin’ you is like food to my soul

Never gonna go a day without you
Fills me up just thinkin’ about you
I’ll never go a day without my mama
Mama, Mama you know I love you

Mama, Mama you’re the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars
(Your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama I just want you to know lovin’ you is like food to my soul

Lovin’ you is like food to my soul, oh yeah
You are the food to my soul, yes you are
