As I ponder where I've been,
What my life has become
Suddenly, unexpectedly
I'm greeted by the sight of a familiar face
Calmed by the sound of a soothing voice
Revealing a pathway of light
Resonating from a conscience once shadowed
Cleansing impurities, purging imperfections

I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for you
Wouldn't have made it in this world so ruthless
You've shown me the way that I hadn't seen before,
Although it was right in front of me all along
You've conquered all hardships,
My source of inspiration
Beholden to all your advice, counsel of sagacity
It was never your obligation to give a damn,
But you did so anyway

I recall a time when the roles were reversed
You were in my position, yet I couldn't help you
Restricted by naiveté, confounded by my youth
Never did I think I would walk in those same shoes
You were the one there when no one else cared
Always with immaculate words to say
To help me realize the error of my ways
Setting the framework of this road to change

I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for you
Wouldn't have made it in this world so ruthless
You've shown me the way that I hadn't seen before,
Although it was right in front of me all along
You've conquered all hardships,
My source of inspiration
Beholden to all your advice, counsel of sagacity
It was never your obligation to give a damn,
But you did so anyway

I'd still be drowning in past sorrow and regret
If not for your innate ability to strike a chord in me
What can I do to repay this debt?
Time and again, you bring out the best in me
All you've accomplished, all you've persevered through
It's truly an honor just to say I know you

I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for you
Wouldn't have made it in this world so ruthless
You've shown me the way that I hadn't seen before,
Although it was right in front of me all along
You've conquered all hardships,
My source of inspiration
Beholden to all your advice, counsel of sagacity
It was never your obligation to give a damn,
But you did so anyway

You did so anyway......
