I grew up with you

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.
