#VERSE
She answers the door
With a plunger in hand
Her angel wings look like blades
From a ceiling fan
A modern-day Madonna
Sent from from Heaven above
As she’s changed countless diapers
With big doses of love
#CHORUS
She’s an everyday angel
Gets it all done
Everyday angel
Makes sure the kids have fun
Teaches them ‘bout life
While bringing laughs by the ton
She’s an everyday angel
And she’s number one
#VERSE
Two boys in school
Girl, age three, at home
Peaceful days with her daughter
Then it’s Thunderdome
When the boys get off the bus
Wrestle-mania ensues
Till, “Mom! He twisted my arm”
Becomes front page news
#CHORUS
She’s an everyday angel
But sometimes that’s not fun
Everyday angel
Teen turmoil to confront
Her head pounds over bills
Anxiety second to none
Life of an everyday angel
Exhausted by lunch
#BRIDGE
Used to work professionally
Daycare broke the bank with kid number three
Substitute teaches if money gets dire
Burns out badly some days from this trial-by-fire
She and her man still believe in this sacrifice
For her to be home and treat their children nice
Some can’t make that choice, and kids turn out okay
But this angelic mama rejoices each day
#VERSE
You’ll find her wiping a nose
Stirring vats of Mac ‘n’ Cheese
Running kids to drums and wrestling
She’s got great Mama expertise
#CHORUS
She’s an everyday angel
Gets it all done
Everyday angel
Helps the kids have fun
Teaches them ‘bout life
But brings laughs by the ton
She’s an everyday angel
And she’s number one
#CHORUS
An everyday angel
Proud of what she gets done
Everyday angel
Doubts herself a bunch
Weeps to her husband
He consoles her with love
She’s an everyday angel
And she’s number one
#OUTRO
And at the end of the night
When sleep’s web has been spun
Her man says, “Thank you, sweet angel
From our daughter and sons”
