You are my teacher
You are my guide
You are my friend
You are my mother
And this is a song
A song for you

You are always there
And forever fair
A shoulder to cry on
All life long
Best days are spent with you
And the family too
Ever loving, never fading
With a smile, simply loving


You are my teacher
You are my guide
You are my friend
You are my mother
And this is a song
A song for you

Even when we argue
I always know what you do
You do because you love me
This I can see
I will never go far
Because of all you are
Everything leads back here
With you there’s no fear
Simply because


You are my teacher
You are my guide
You are my friend
You are my mother
And this is a song
A song for you

You and I together
Side by side forever
Showing me the way
Each and every day
We are stronger
Now we’ve travelled further
Ever loving, ever protecting
Ever caring, ever hoping
That’s you because

You are my teacher
You are my guide
You are my friend
You are my mother
And this is a song
A song for you

You are the reason
That I’m alive
You brought me up
To  know what’s right
You loved me
No matter what


You are my mother
You are my teacher
You are my guide
You are my friend
You are my mother
And this is a song
A song for you

 
It takes just a moment
To say hello
But it takes forever
To say goodbye
I never want to say
Goodbye to you

It takes just a moment
But I never took that moment
I never said hello
Now I can’t bring
Myself to say goodbye
To you, even though I should

It takes just a moment
To say hello
But it takes forever
To say goodbye

It takes just a moment
And I wish for the moment
To last forever
I wish I could stay
And be with you always
But its time for me to go

It takes just a moment
To say hello
But it takes forever
To say goodbye

It takes just a moment
Here I am in tears
Welling in my eyes
Knowing what Ive got to say
But this is taking forever
Because I’m saying goodbye

It takes just a moment
To say hello
But it takes forever
To say goodbye

I never want to say
Goodbye to you
 
I wanna fly
Will you let me?
I wanna do what I
Feel I have to
Will you let me?
I wanna be me
Will you let me?
Please?

Can’t you see
I am not the person
You thought I was
I am me, my own
Person, you can’t
Control me, I am
Not your baby girl
Anymore, I have
Changed, please,
Let me go

I wanna fly
Will you let me?
I wanna do what I
Feel I have to
Will you let me?
I wanna be me
Will you let me?
Please?

I can’t be bound by
These chains anymore
I need to feel
Alive, feel something
Real, let me go and
Don’t worry about
Me, I can look after
Myself now, I can
Survive without
You looking over my shoulder

I wanna fly
Will you let me?
I wanna do what I
Feel I have to
Will you let me?
I wanna be me
Will you let me?
Please?

I have done things
You can’t even imagine
I know more about life than
You think, so please let me live
I know you worry
But there is no need
I can take care of me
Now it’s time to let me go
It’s time for me to
Find out who I am

I wanna fly
Will you let me?
I wanna do what I
Feel I have to
Will you let me?
I wanna be me
Will you let me?
Please?

I wanna fly
Will you let me?
I wanna do what I
Feel I have to
Will you let me?
I wanna be me
Will you let me?
Please?
 
I Wrote This Song For Sara, Because She Saved My Life. And I Love Her More Than Words Can Ever Explain. She Is My Surrogate Mother x

You broke my walls,
I never thought I could let you in
No matter how much I wanted to,
I was just afraid to trust you
But you proved me wrong every day,
Showed me you wouldn’t ever hurt me,
You stood by my side and
Helped me cope, helped me survive

Why I will never know,
Never know why you choose to help me
Choose to let me close
When I needed someone,
 Yes, I will never know why

You showed me you could be trusted
I never thought I would again
Yet you showed me I could
You let me cry on your shoulder,
Let me unburned my fears on you
And slowly I did start to trust
Because I realized you wanted to help
Help me get my life back
And you broke that wall around my heart

Why I will never know,                                                
Never know why you choose to help me
Choose to let me close
When I needed someone,
Yes, I will never know why

And so I now just want to say this,
Over time you have shown me that
Some things have to be done,
Some things have to be said
So I am going to do and say this,
Without you I wouldn’t be here today,
The person I am today
Living the life I am
Please let me say this,

Why I will never know,
Never know why you choose to help me
Choose to let me close
When I needed someone,
Yes, I will never know why

Yet now I feel I don’t have to know
Why you did what you did
And why you said what you said
But thank you from the bottom of my heart,
And I am truly grateful for all that
You have done for me
You are totally amazing
I’m glad you are who you are.
You changed my life. 
 
One day in your life,
You will see the light at the end,
Of this long dark tunnel,
You will find your way out,
This I promise you,
Down this road, you are traveling,
One step at a time,
You will find inside of yourself
The strength to survive,

Please believe me,
That one day, in your life,
You will see, what I do now,
That you are special,
So please listen to me,

One day, though you don’t yet know it,
You will find someone who loves you
For whom you are, and everything,
You can be, this I know, (I know)
So look inside of yourself,
And find the strength to make,
The next step, a step that will lead you
 Away from the horror of your past,
And towards the bright future, that lies just around the next corner,

Please believe me,
That one day, in your life,
You will see, what I do now,
That you are special,
So please listen to me,

One day, the path will clear,
And you will find hope once again,
Slowly you will learn to love and trust,
Please believe me
I promise this is what awaits you,
Though I know you cannot see how
 This can be true, just wait and see,
Your future is waiting,
Ready for you,

Please believe me,
That one day, in your life,
You will see, what I do now,
That you are special,
So please listen to me,

One day, you will fly,
You will be successful,
Your heart no longer broken,
My darling, let me know when you’re ready,
To love again, (love again)
Because I will be here with you,
Every single step of the way,
So call me and I will love you,
Like no one else has
 
I Need Someone


I need someone,
Someone who cares for me,
Someone who believes in me,
Someone I can truly rely on,
I wish that you were that someone,
But I’m not sure,
Do you care for me?
Do you believe in me?
Can I rely on you?

Will I ever find out the answers to those questions?
I wish I knew what you thought of me,
If I did, I could answer those questions,
But then would I like the answers I got?

I need someone,
Someone who cares for me,
Someone who believes in me,
Someone I can truly rely on,
I wish that you were that someone,

Sometimes I tempted to ask you if you are that someone,
But I can never find the courage,
You see I do care so much, for you,
Yet I just don’t know where I stand,
Where I stand with you,
The other day you told me you care,
It was the first time you’d ever said those worlds,
I almost cried, I believed it,

I need someone,
Someone who cares for me,
Someone who believes in me,
Someone I can truly rely on,
I wish that you were that someone,

When you said those words,
It made me think about all that you had done for me,
Everything made sense, 
You had done it because you cared,
Cared for me yet I hadn’t seen it,
And I’m sorry, for everything,
You cared for me,
Like I cared for you,

I need someone,
Someone who cares for me,
Someone who believes in me,
Someone I can truly rely on,
I wish that you were that someone, 

I needed someone; someone I hoped was you,
But I was too scared of being hurt,
To let you in, and so I tried to push you away,
But you didn’t let me, you stayed with me,
You helped me believe in you,
Though you never saw it,
And I want you to know now, 

I needed someone,
Someone who cared for me,
Someone who believed in me,
Someone I could rely on,
I found that someone in you
