Through my first words
You taught me to talk
You held my hand
Durin' my first steps
You never gave up
And I learned that best
(Chorus)
Growing up
Lookin' up to you
I was always just
One step behind
But you made sure
The place I found
Was always mine
Then grade school came
Took me away
Those party scenes just weren't me
But you should know
Cause you taught me well
I wonder if you could ever tell
I was
(Repeat Chorus)
My whole life
I've been looking up to you,
To show me what I should do
To teach me right from what is wrong
You showed me life's not about if you belong
-------Musical Break-------
Now I'm grown
A life of my own
And now I'm teaching my kids
Just like you did
And I hope one day
That they can say
Mommy,
I hope
You know
(Repeat Chorus)
And this place I found
Was mine
