[Female Vocal]
Verse 1
I was still a kid when you came into my life
Trying to learn the world while learning how to be your guide
Made mistakes, yeah I stumbled on the way
But every little smile of yours made me want to change
People saw the past, they thought they knew my story
But you were the reason I started chasing glory
Late nights, hard days, pushing through the pain
Every step I took was to break that chain
Pre-Chorus
We were growing at the same time
Learning life one day at a time
Chorus
I grew up with you right by my side
You gave my broken dreams new life
You are my heart, my reason why
The strength that keeps me fighting every night
Through every struggle, every tear
Your little voices pulled me near
I may not know if I’ve done enough
But my love for you will always be tough
Verse 2
From being lost to finding who I am
Trying to build a life with my two hands
Every sacrifice, every sleepless night
Was just to see your future shining bright
I may have been young, I may have been scared
But the love I had for you was always there
And if the world ever tries to knock you down
Remember your mama turned her whole life around
Bridge
My biggest fear is I could’ve done more
But every dream I have is for you to soar
Be stronger, wiser, kinder than me
The people I always knew you’d be
Final Chorus
I grew up with you right by my side
You turned my darkest days to light
You are my heart, my reason why
The fire that keeps me pushing through life
And one day when you chase your dreams
You’ll see what all this fighting means
Everything I did, every sacrifice
Was just to give you a better life
Outro
If I could choose my story again
Through every struggle, every bend
I’d still pick you, every time
Because you’re the reason my life learned to shine.
