Garth Brooks Mom song was released in 2014 as a track on his “Man Against Machine” album. While performing in Ontario, Canada, Garth Brooks noticed a large sign reading “Can you sing ‘Mom’ for my Birthday?!” in the audience and led the crowd into a “Happy Birthday” sing-along. After the festive tune wrapped, Brooks took the time to speak to the fan and asked about her special song request.
The fan, Sophie Goudreau, explained that she had lost her 3-year-old son, Antoine, and that the song “Mom” means a lot to her on a personal level. “It should never go in that order, so lets sing this because where babies come from is where babies go to,” Brooks kindly responded. Garth also performed this touching song on The Ellen Show.
After the concert, Sophie told Rare Country, “I made a prayer just before the show. I asked my son and my mom to pay me a visit on my birthday since I often feel sad on my birthday and wanted to change that. I also asked them for a special favor,” Sophie explained. “I mentioned I had a sign Gary had put together for me asking Garth to sing the song ”Mom” for my birthday, and I really would like to see Garth sing it for me.”
What a magical moment captured on video.
“I couldn’t say much, I was too emotional. I was so happy that God answered my prayer and special request and on my birthday. What a grand way to show Himself. I just carry this special time with me now feeling reassured once again that God answers prayers and my son Antoine manifested himself in a way he knew I could relate,” she said.
A little baby told God, “Hey, I’m kinda scared
Don’t really know if I want to go down there
From here it looks like a little blue ball
That’s a great big place and I’m so small”
“Why can’t I just stay here with you
Did I make you mad, don’t you want me to?”
God said, “Oh, child, of course I do
But there’s somebody special waiting for you”
So, hush now baby don’t you cry
‘Cause there’s someone down there waiting
Whose only goal in life
Is makin’ sure you’re always gonna be alright
A loving angel, tender, tough and strong
It’s almost time to go and meet your mom
You’ll never have a better friend
Or a warmer touch to tuck you in
She’ll kiss your bruises, your bumps and scrapes
And anytime you hurt, her heart’s gonna break
Now, when she’s talking to you
Make sure you listen close
‘Cause she’s gonna teach you everything
You’ll ever need to know
Like how to mind your manners
To love and laugh and dream
And she’ll put you on the path
That’ll bring you back to Me
So, hush now little baby don’t you cry
‘Cause there’s someone down there waiting
Whose only goal in life
Is making sure you’re always gonna be alright
A loving angel, tender, tough and strong
Come on child
It’s time to meet your mom
