Trust me when I say it's gon' be alright
You'll make it through the day, make it through the night
You made it till here so don't give up the fight
You weren't very lucky but never showed me fright
You kept it real' brave and put it all aside
You dropped all your dreams to raise me as your child
And I know that sometimes you couldn't provide
Men mistreated you, left you insecure for life
I'm the peace of love that you can't seem to find
I'm the light you lost in your darkest times
And I know you tell urself you didn't raise me right
Could've done a better job, offered me some better times
But hey, you made me the man I am
If I'm able to realize what you did for me
It's thanks to all the love that you have for me
All the fears you took in so I wouldn't fear
I still remember the days when you'd wake up early
Make me food in the morning
Drive me to school and drop me
I wish I could go back to those days when
I wouldn't see a tear on my mom's face
Back to the days when we would watch tapes
Cartoons on television
And bake cakes
Doin' the Christmas tree
While listening to Cole
Singing Jingle Bells
Hell how the time have changed
Now if I can stand on my own feet
Wear love like a cloak as pain wins
It's thanks to the strength that you gave me
The small will you had that you gave me
And if you're lonely
I'm only one call away
All these numbers pushed my faith away
But in the end as you always said
My music was made
To show the people change
