Back when I was just me
You were always there to help me
and support my dreams
And you've encouraged me to see
and Want so much more out of life
And you said nevermind your fears
Cause soon they will pass in time
And I want to thank you see cause
All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud
to say That you helped 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
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
But I chose to deal with you
Whether right or wrong
And I'm so glad I did cause
All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud
to say That you helped me
into what I am today

to say No one else could do

See you came and changed my life
You turned and empty heart
into a work of art
And opened my eyes to the world

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 I'm always gonna give my
all to you All I am and all that
