Every new year goes by faster then the last
And it gets so hard to know just what you have
In your friends and in your family
In those you take for granted along the way
And you were always there for me
Through every tribulation
You're there for me
I couldn't walk a mile in your shoes
But I still want to be just like you
From all the struggles you've been through
You stood strong
And you taught me to
Hold my head high
Let nothing hold me back
Reach for the sky
Give it everything
I have inside
When I was young my greatest fear was losing you
Before you showed me that it's all in his hands
That's how much you meant to me then
And that still stands
I hope I make you proud
If I never take the chance to say
Thank you for everyday
Your life revolved around me
I'm saying it now
You make your son proud
