Garth Brooks Chokes with Emotions as He Performs "Mom" On Good Morning America

On Friday, November 14th, Garth Brooks delivered an acoustic version of his song "Mom" on Good Morning America. "Mom" is a moving ballad that tells of a conversation between God and an unborn child' a song taken from Brooks' new Billboard #1 Country Album "Man Against Machine."
Before introducing the song, Brooks told "GMA" host Robin Roberts that he was honored to bring the Creator and music together. As the performance went on, Brooks was overcome with emotion while singing about the unborn child's mother.
"So hush now baby, don't you cry, 'cause there is somebody down there waiting..." he sang at the start of the chorus, before emotionally breaking down.
Despite the strong feelings invoked by the song, Brooks went on to complete the chorus, which describes the mother-to-be as a "loving angel, tender, tough and strong." Then, in the second verse of "Mom," Brooks crooned, "She'll put you on the path that will bring you back to Me."
Here are the lyrics of "Mom:"
A little baby told God
Hey I'm kinda scared, don't really know ifI wanna go down there
Because from here it looks like a little blue ball
But 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, too?'
And God said, 'Oh child, of course I doBut there's somebody special that's waiting for you'
So hush now baby don't you cry
Cuz there's someone down there waiting who's only goal in lifeIs making you sure you're always going to be alright
A loving angel tender tough and strongIt's almost time to go and meet your Mom
Now when she's talking to you
Make sure you listen close
Cause she's gonna teach 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 baby don't you cry
Cuz there's someone down there waiting who's only goal in life
Is making you sure you're always going to be alright
A loving angel tender tough and strong
Come on child it's time to meet your Mom
