Every new year goes by faster then the last And it gets so hard to know just what you have In your friends and in your family In those you take for granted along the way And you were always there for me Through every tribulation You're there for me I couldn't walk a mile in your shoes But I still want to be just like you From all the struggles you've been through You stood strong And you taught me to Hold my head high Let nothing hold me back Reach for the sky Give it everything I have inside When I was young my greatest fear was losing you Before you showed me that it's all in his hands Thats how much you meant to me then And that still stands I hope I make you proud If I never take the chance to say Thank you for everyday Your life revolved around me I'm saying it now You make your son proud
