Through the hard times you stood beside us   Held us up when we could go no further   There is none like you that we can trust   To push us on before we give up   Without your support who would I be?   Just another boy out on the streets      And for you I can see the truth   The man you know that I can be   Your faith I’ll prove was not misplaced   A guiding hand through the darker places      My mom you’ve shown yourself to be   Helping me to break free   Of the haunting demons in my life   And the melancholy of this strife   Freedom gained and freedom won   I’m showing you that I’m not done      And for you I can see the truth   The man you know that I can be   Your faith I’ll prove was not misplaced   A guiding hand through the darker places      So hold on to these words forever   A challenge like no other letter   I keep two words for you at the end   A show of deepest gratitude   And though it won’t be easy to do   I just wanted to “Thank you.”
