[Verse 1]
Almost a decade, we've been walking this road alone
Raising him up, from the ground to his throne
Single-handed, juggling the love, the lessons, the fights
Every day, I’m the shadow, the hope, the light
[Pre-Chorus]
He’s grown, he’s strong, and I see the battles won
Even when the nights are long, I know he’ll carry on
You’ve been distant, chasing your new dreams and schemes
But I’ve been here, holding on to hopes and dreams
[Chorus]
We survived without you, we’ll thrive without your touch
He’s my only, my everything, I love him so much
You’re out there living, missing the moments that mattered most
But I promise him, I’ll be his strength and his hope
[Verse 2]
They say time heals all wounds, but some scars are deep
Seeing him grow up, knowing I’ve been the one to keep
His world intact, his heart unbroken, his smile bright
Even when I’m tired, I fight the good fight
[Pre-Chorus]
He’s stronger than the doubts, the pain, the tears
Daring to face the future despite the fears
You choose your path, but mine’s grounded in love
A single mother’s strength, sent from above
[Chorus]
We survived without you, we’ll thrive without your touch
He’s my only, my everything, I love him so much
You’re out there living, missing the moments that mattered most
But I promise him, I’ll be his strength and his hope
[Bridge]
One day he’ll see the truth, the strength in what we’ve been through
The sacrifices, the tears, the years, and all I’ve done for him too
He’ll walk into his future, proud and free
Knowing love is enough to make him be
[Outro]
So here’s to the battles, to the love, to the strife
To the courage that carried us through this life
He’s my son, my world, my only, I’ll forever stand tall
Together we rise, after every fall
