They told me I’d never make it
That I would fall without being thrown
A child just shy of seventeen
With a baby of her own

It was then when I looked at you
And held you in my arm
That you were what changed me
And I would always keep you from harm

Hell! It was never easy
The hell I had to go through
But I let my instincts take over
To do the best I could for you

I gave up so much
And sacrificed because your love
Someone you would look up to
Someone you would be proud of

Im sorry for any pain
That I’ve ever caused along the way
In the destruction I caused
To raise you to this day

You are perfect!
You make it worth all the pain
Im proud of everything you have done
And everything you will gain
