Back when I was just me You were always there to help and support my dreams And you've encouraged me to see And want so much more out of life And you said never mind your fears, Cause soon they will pass in time And I want to thank you see cause [Chorus] All I am and all that I will ever be Is because of you and I am proud to say That you helped make me into what I am today I applaud you for being so patient with me All I am and all that I will ever be Is because of you and I am proud to say No one else could do what you have done for me You mean the world to me (yeah) There were times when I was so Frustrated with you I felt I didn't want you no more But then I realized That without you I would be so alone (yeah) But I chose to deal with you, Wether right or wrong and im so glad I did cause [Chorus] See you cause and changed my life You turned an empty heart to work of art And open my eyes to the world I would have never known, for that im grateful You are my pride and my joy The closest thing to me next to the God above And will forever be my first love And im always gonna give my all to you
