Lyrics

V1
Neuro-spicy Children
Need a special kind of Mom
A Motivator Mama,
One who's kind, patient and strong.
V2
When her kiddos need her comfort,
Or to know she's got their back,
She knows just when to push them,
Or when to cut them slack.

Chorus:
She's a Motivator Mama,
Some call her Mama Bear,
Not the kind of bear that's covered
In thick dark hair,
She can navigate the system
And ya know, that's kinda rare.
She's a Motivator Mama,
Just a Motivator Mama

V3
Kids don't come with their instructions,
But they sure can come with needs
Sometimes way beyond the ken
Of a pair of parental plebes.
V4
But a Motivator Mama
is right there at their side,
And soon becomes an expert
On this complicated ride.

Chorus:
She's a Motivator Mama,
Some call her Mama Bear,
Not the kind of bear that's covered
In thick dark hair,
She can navigate the system
And ya know, that's kinda rare.
She's a Motivator Mama,
Just a Motivator Mama

Bridge:
When your child can read before she's 2
But has a helluva time with tying her shoe,
At 4 makes experts prick up their ears,
But comes home from school hiding her tears,
When the teacher is ready to throw up her hands
Because this kind of child was not in her plans,
Well that's really when you need
A Motivator Mama

Chorus:
She's a Motivator Mama,
Some call her Mama Bear,
Not the kind of bear that's covered
In thick dark hair,
She can navigate the system,
And ya know that's kinda rare,
She's a Motivator Mama,
Just a Motivator Mama
A Motivator Mama

It sounds like you are intimately familiar with the important loving supportive and advocating roles that motivating mamas play in helping their uniquely wonderful children navigate this world to promote their success and happiness - and to help others better understand. It is a compelling lyric with a relevant message! While my 23 yo son is navigating life well as a young adult my 27 yo son still needs a lot of additional support. This lyric resonates with me. Thanks for sharing!!

This lyric really speaks to my experience with my own neuro-spicy child. You captured so much here.
