Lyrics
You taught so many lessons through your effort and tears
We listened with our hearts as much as with our ears
You looked right past, the ignorance of my youth
Nurtured what was inside me, with patience and truth
Sometimes I look around
Sometimes I hear your sound
I know you'd be so proud
To see us now
If you could have stayed, just a little bit longer
I know it would have made me just a little bit stronger
But if you taught me one thing
It's to depend on me
The only way to be free
Is to fufill all my dreams
The words you spoke, took route and grew in my soul
Verses you spoke back then, will never be old
You taught us how to stand using more than just our legs
You gave us so much thought for more than just our heads
