[Verse 1]
I remember drawing circles, in the sand down by the water, young and amazed
By the crashing waves.
I use to sit at home and wonder why I wasn't like the others, laughing and
Playing with their mothers.
[Hook]
But now I now she made a sacrifice,
So I could have the finest things in life.
[Chorus]
I'll spend a life time just to show you how I appreciate you.
You taught me how to be myself.
I walk a million miles and I'll fall a thousand times.
You taught me how to be myself.
[Verse 2]
I remember lying in the dark and feeling sad coz it was so hard.
Tears running down my face.
And everytime I heard a car go past.
I would run up and look through the glass.
Hoping I'd see your face.
[Hook]
But now I know she made a sacrifice so I could have the finest things in
Life.
[Chorus]
I'll spend a lifetime just to show you.
How I appreciate you, you taught me how to be myself.
I'll walk a million miles, and I'll fall a thousand times.
But you taught me how to be myself.
[Bridge]
You taught me how to be independent.
And you taught me how to stand strong.
And I'm the person that I am today.
From what I went through in those days.
She made a sacrifice, to give me the finest things in life.
[Chorus x3]
I'll spend a lifetime just to show you.
How I appreciate you, you taught me how to be myself.
I'll walk a million miles, and I'll fall a thousand times.
But you taught me how to be myself.
