Lessons of Love and Redemption

Yeah, this one’s for the queens in my life

Reflectin’ on the past, chasin’ what’s right

Let me speak my truth, from my soul tonight

And lay it all out, no lies, just light

To my first love, thank you for the lessons, blessings and the pain

Made me who I am today, even through the rain

I know I hurt you, didn’t love you the way I should

Had to go through the darkness just to find my good

You opened doors inside my heart I never knew

Your memory’s a melody I still hold true

Wish I could rewind, go back and do it right

Wish I had you here, shining in my life tonight

But I promise, I’ll be the man you’d be proud to see

Workin’ every day to be the best of me

You’re the reason I’m humblin’, the reason I evolve

In your shadow, I stand strong, I still involve

Healing from the past, learnin’ how to love again

Thank you for the fire, for the lesson and the pain

And I’m sorry for the nights I made you cry

For the times I let my ego fly

But now I stand, a better man, with love in my eyes

Your spirit’s in my heart, it never dies

This is for you, my first love, my pride

Thank you for everything you kept inside

I’m workin’ on me, I’m sayin’ it loud

Hope one day I’ll make you proud

Reflections in my heart, I won’t forget

Your love’s a fire I can’t regret

From the depths of my soul, I vow to grow

To be the man you need, to let you know

And to the mother of my son, for givin’ me a new way to love

Showed me what it means to be enough

Your love is a lesson I keep in my soul

Without it, I’d be lost, I’d have no control

You’re my real light, my reason to fight

Through every dark day, you’re my sight

Could forever thank you for the love you give

It’s the reason I wake up, the reason I live

This is for you, my queen, my everything

Thank you for the love, the hope you bring

I’m workin’ every day to pay it forward

Forever your man, your soldier, your chosen warrior

Yeah, I’m sorry for the hurt, it’s a part of my past

But I’m here now, love, I’m buildin’ to last

From my first love to my future, I promise to be true

Forever grateful, baby, I love you
