dear mom In the distance I Know I’ve been down and searching low Know there’s been times when my pride was the only thing on show Still I kept trying having only found disaster at my feet Thinking life was a joyride on the way to easy street But I knew that without you I’d have crashed and burned Knew without you no lessons could have been learned But with a new release on life I learned so many new things Learned how to love so I’m going to spread these wings Gonna amaze you with my wonders, going to reach into the sky And only you can stop me so please mom you’ve got to let me fly! Let me lift my spirits up won’t you see how high I can go Without your support I’m still gliding if you wish harder I’ll glow These mountains in the distance they don’t mean a thing to me now I’m gonna dazzle them with my acrobatics somehow. dear son When u was an only child i put my wings over you I said a little prayer so that your love would set u free I knew you would get older and everyday I would find my might So those days lost to wonder are just getting me ready for the fight You see we work together; as loving mother and son you are the key But you have unlocked my power now I'm sailing our ship to victory Now nobody can stop us we are a united carousel of hopes and dreams And who would have thought we’d get this far on a fools ship at sea
