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
