It seems like a lifetime
Since I felt like a prisoner of my dreams
It took such a long time
For me to realize just how to be
And to listen to me
Don’t go thinkin’
I’m not thankful
Couse me l’ve got my hands full of good things
And I hope I can give back
A little bit of what you’ve given me

So thank you
For standing
Right by me
So thank you
For being
Behind me
And watching me grow
And little other know
That you still believe in that I’ll be

Some people have since things
In time about me that weren’t always true
But you’ve always been there
To give that extra love to pull me though
To do that I gotta do
Cause there’ll always be those ups and downs
But you always seem to stick around
And see
See me through to believe
And l hope I can keep back
A you little bit of what you’ve given me
Ya give me all that I need

So thank you
For standing
Right by me
So thank you
For being
Behind me
And watching me grow
And little other know
That you still believe in that I’ll be

It took a while ‘til I could do what I wanted
And now I’m so happy that I started where I started
I’m thankin’ god that I can be in a position
To do my own thing now
And make my decisions
And so I’m thanking you
For being true
And standin’ by me thought and thought
