Where The Words Begin

mothers day · 5:03 · October 1, 2026

Before there were lectures and lesson plans, there were late-night pages written by lamplight — a mother's quiet gift of words that shaped a lifetime. This song honors the woman who became a son's first teacher, tracing how her devotion in small moments grew into a legacy carried into every classroom he ever stood before. A tribute to the teachers who raise us before we even know we're being taught, and the gratitude that only deepens with time.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some lessons start before we know Seeds planted soft and slow A quiet hand that guides the pen And shows us where the words begin Late nights she worked, but still she gave Her wisdom lighting up the way [Chorus] Thank God for you, thank God for you For every word and everything you do You wrote the first lines of my story And led me to a path of glory Thank God for you always [Verse 2] I'd bring my homework through the door She'd take those pages off to work By morning light she'd hand them back Reports in cursive, nothing lacked I'd copy every word she wrote And something deeper took its hold Mary Duncan showed me how To build a sentence, take a bow [Chorus] Thank God for you, thank God for you For every word and everything you do You wrote the first lines of my story And led me to a path of glory Thank God for you always [Bridge] From encyclopedias on the shelf To standing at the front myself I told my students every year My first writing teacher brought me here [Verse 3] Now the classroom lights have dimmed for me But Mom, your legacy I still can see In every student I helped find their voice Mary Duncan, you gave me that choice You taught me structure, gave me words The greatest gift this world has heard A thinker, writer, teacher too It all began, it starts with you [Chorus] Thank God for you, thank God for you For every word and everything you do You wrote the first lines of my story And led me to a path of glory Thank God for you always [Outro] Mary Duncan, on this Mother's Day I thank God for you always
