There was once a time when you were lonesome and I could not see
You gave me everything you ever had and that's how I breath
It's funny how the years come and go they don't seem to last
If only I could find a way to thank you for helping me
To become the man I am today as I drift in and out of life
I know you will always be there for me
You were the one who brought me into this world
You were the one to hold me when I opened my eyes
I could see
Every now and then I think back to times when I was more than you could take
I pushed you to limits you never knew you had and still you remained
Your patient hand would guide me through times when I wouldn't wait
So here I stand and I'm thanking you for raising me
To become the man I am today as I drift in and out of life
I know you will always be there for me
You were the one who brought me into this world
You were the one to hold me when I opened my eyes
I could see
So as my boy is growing up I hope he knows
The values I instil in him are from, a long time ago
When you took me aside and you sat me down and you would say
Son live your life like you mean it don't give in to fate
To become the man I am today as i drift in and out of life
I know you will always be there for me
You were the one who brought me into this world
You were the one to hold me when I opened my eyes
I could see, the man I am today as I drift in and out of life I know you'll be there for me
You were the one who brought me into this world
You were the one to hold me, when I opened my eyes
I could see
I could see
I could see
