You told me I will understand one day
Have it or lose it you'll never know
From me to you on this day, this day in May
When push comes to shove do not fear nor show

You said there's nothing I can't do
You said rise up to every challenge
So when I bit off more than I could chew
You said "laugh as you check out the damage"

Mommy, please guide me as I call out to you
I close my eyes, make a vow in my heart
My words to say "Thank you" are way past due
I promise myself we will never part

I'll put our star in the sky, far from all
Now that, that start is released, never fall
