mother

i remember your anger  
when i made you mad  
i thought you would kill me  
when i did anything bad  
i remember your smile  
when i made you proud  
i was always your everything  
you saw me through the crowd  
how did you know how to be  
how to turn this little boy into me  
i remember everything you told me  
you were right all along  
you knew what i shouldn't do  
you guided me away from wrong  
who taught you how to love me  
i remember your devotion  
there was never a doubt  
you knew exactly what i was about  
i felt so great all because of you  
i remember everything you did for me  
i'll never forget how incredible you told me i'd be  
i know now that nothing can stand in my way  
i can reach any goal one by one  
i think i was meant to be your son  
i think you were created to raise me right  
i look back now and see your brilliant light  
the older i get the more i understand  
i live my life thanks to the guidance of your hand  
i remember when i was small  
how you held me and fixed it all  
when you showed me when why and how  
it's my turn to take care of you now  
i'm here for you and forever i'll be  
you're my mother and mean everything to me
