Here's to the people who gave me life |
|
And then showed me how to live it |
|
And taught me that you measure love |
|
By how freely you can give it |
|
And the gift |
|
I give to you |
|
Is the lesson that |
|
I learned |
|
That when a love is true |
|
It has nothing in return |
|
Unconditional love, that they gave to me |
|
It wasn't mine to keep and |
|
I knew someday |
|
I'd hand it down to you and hope that |
|
I can be The one who makes you see |
|
The importance of unconditional love |
|
And there were times |
|
I know I let them down |
|
But never once was |
|
I rejected |
|
And when I stood alone to face this world |
|
Somehow I still felt protected |
|
That's the common bond we share |
|
And it will last through the years |
|
And you can trust that |
|
I'll be there |
|
Through the good times and the tears |
|
Unconditional love, like they gave to me |
|
It's not yours to keep and |
|
I know someday |
|
Someone will look to you and you will have to be |
|
The one who makes him see |
|
The importance of unconditional love |
