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 day
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 worked 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)
Whatever 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 God above
And ill forever be my first love
And im always gonna give my all to you
