You gave me life
Gave me your heart
Your shoulder when I needed to cry
You gave me hope when all my hope is gone
Wings so my dreams can fly
And I haven't told you enough
Haven't been good enough, making you see

Chorus:
My love for you will live in my heart
Until eternity's through....
I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, Mama, Thanks to you

You gave me your word
Gave me your voice
Gave me your everything
Each breath of your life
You believe when I can never have
You teach my faith to survive
And I never can do enough
Never thank you enough, for all that you are

(Repeat Chorus)
I know the treasure, I'm filled with grace
Whenever I see your face

(...music....)

And I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, Mama, Thanks to You
To you.....
