Quarter of my life you've been a legacy
Yet your sun shines all over me
Struggle to find that peace of mind that
You did provide that, heck, you were like that ...
I'm still not sure I'm ready to let you go ...
You gave me life and you gave me smiles ... and ...
You gave me time that others couldn't find
You let me roam and you gave me hope and
Taught me to fly and ... I'm still riding ...
Taught me to solve that mystery
All I want versus all I can be
You were half and you made me whole, then you
Turned around and you let me soar ...
I see you in my face just a little more ...
You gave me life and you gave me smiles, and
You gave me time that others couldn't find it
You let me roam and you let me hope and
Taught me to fly and ... I'm still riding ...
The hearts that burn you up in the letting go
Will light you up with what they leave behind ...
I got your love and I got your smiles and
I got your time that others couldn't find it
I got the rope and caught my hope and
Look at me, old man ... I'm still riding ... don't stop smiling ...
