Trust me when I say it's gon' be alright You'll make it through the day, make it through the night You made it till here so don't give up the fight You weren't very lucky but never showed me fright You kept it real' brave and put it all aside You dropped all your dreams to raise me as your child And I know that sometimes you couldn't provide Men mistreated you, left you insecure for life I'm the peace of love that you can't seem to find I'm the light you lost in your darkest times And I know you tell urself you didn't raise me right Could've done a better job, offered me some better times But hey, you made me the man I am If I'm able to realize what you did for me It's thanks to all the love that you have for me All the fears you took in so I wouldn't fear I still remember the days when you'd wake up early Make me food in the morning Drive me to school and drop me I wish I could go back to those days when I wouldn't see a tear on my mom's face Back to the days when we would watch tapes Cartoons on television And bake cakes Doin' the Christmas tree While listening to Cole Singing Jingle Bells Hell how the time have changed Now if I can stand on my own feet Wear love like a cloak as pain wins It's thanks to the strength that you gave me The small will you had that you gave me And if you're lonely I'm only one call away All these numbers pushed my faith away But in the end as you always said My music was made To show the people change
