Miley Cyrus: Tomorrow is Mother’s day, and this is for all the moms out there.
[singing] It’s been a long dark nightAnd I’ve been waiting for the morning
It’s been a long hard fight

Everything’s gonna work out just fine
Everything’s gonna be all right
That’s been all wrong
Now, let’s get some moms out here.

Like an eagle I’m eager for the sky
