Thanks to You

Verse 1

Your love is like dreaming of heaven,

Soft as a whisper, steady as light.

You didn’t see me growing through the shadows,

But you carried me still through the long dark nights.

Though miles kept us oceans apart,

I found home in the sound of your heart.

Chorus 1

So here’s to you being the mother

You were meant to be all along.

You gave me the strength I needed

When the nights felt far too long.

Thanks to you, I can stand where I am.

Thanks to me, you can see who I’ve become.

Thanks to us, we can face tomorrow,

Stronger together than we’ve ever been.

Through every valley, every mountain,

We’ll keep on walking as one.

And I will always be your son.

Verse 2

I never learned to grow up in that house,

But I learned to grow strong by your hand.

Through the broken years, you showed me

What it means to be a man.

A car, a place, a chance at tomorrow—

All because you answered when I called in sorrow.

Chorus 2

So here’s to the prayers you whispered,

When I was too weak to pray.

Here’s to the hope you carried

That still guides me every day.

Thanks to you, I’ve been lifted so high.

Thanks to me, you’ve seen joy in my eyes.

Thanks to us, we’ve survived the fire,

Turning our ashes into holy light.

No matter the battle, no matter the storm,

Our story has only begun.

And I will always be your son.

Bridge

One day we’ll look back from heaven’s side,

With tears of joy we’ll realize—

“Look how far I’ve come, look how far you’ve come,

Look how far we’ve come on this journey divine.”

And thanks to you, for once I know

What it means to be a man inside.

Final Chorus

So here’s to the miles that shaped us,

And the mercy that carried us through.

Here’s to the grace of tomorrow,

And the bond that time can’t undo.

Thanks to you, I believe in the plan.

Thanks to me, you still hold out your hand.

Thanks to us, we’ve built something eternal,

A love that only heaven can span.

When the final song of our lives is sung,

Our victory will shine in the Son.

And I will always be your son.

So here’s to the miles that shaped us,

And the mercy that carried us through.

Here’s to the grace of tomorrow,

And the bond that time can’t undo.

Thanks to you, I believe in the plan.

Thanks to me, you still hold out your hand.

Thanks to us, we’ve built something eternal,

A love that only heaven can span.

When the final song of our lives is sung,

Our victory will shine in the Son.

And I will always be your son.
