I learned the world from your front door light
From scraped-up knees and late-night drives
You held my hand, then taught me how
To let it go when the time was right
Every sacrifice you never said
Every prayer you kept in your head
I was too young to understand
But I do now—I do now
Pre-Chorus
You were strong when I couldn’t be
You were roots beneath my feet
Chorus
If I’m anything good in this life
It’s because you showed me how
Every wrong I made turned right
‘Cause you never let me fall down
I carry your love everywhere
In the words I choose, the way I stand
I am who I am because
I had you—my greatest plan
Verse 2
You argued soft behind closed doors
So I could sleep and dream of more
You gave me hope before I knew
How heavy hope could feel sometimes
You taught me love is showing up
Not just the highs, but when it’s tough
And every time I find my way
I hear your voice—I hear you say
Pre-Chorus
“Go be brave, but don’t forget
Where you learned your first steps”
Chorus
If I’m anything good in this life
It’s because you showed me how
Every wrong I made turned right
‘Cause you never let me fall down
I carry your love everywhere
In the words I choose, the way I stand
I am who I am because
I had you—my greatest plan
Bridge
I don’t say it enough out loud
But I hope I make you proud
All the love you poured in me
Is the love I try to be
Final Chorus
If the world gets loud and cold
And I lose my way somehow
I’ll remember what you showed
And I’ll find my way back now
Every road, every start
Leads me home to who you are
I am stronger than I seem
Because you believed in me
Outro
So here’s my heart, every part
All the thanks I never said
I’ll spend my life passing on
The love you gave me first
