My mother told me long ago "the world brings you up.." And this, I know circumstances beyond your control can lead you down so many roads
keep your eyes open and your dreams alive I made it through and you, too, will survive
It's your life to do what you will do what you want get your fill And I will be here for a while so let me gather in your smile Let me love you from afar watch as you become who you are
I remain a part of you, constantly, and always true What compass will you use to guide your way? Forever is just one long day.....
