I won't let them get the best of me This is the path I've made for me You were my shield from the enemy Always right there by my side You were there for me You were everything When I felt like nothing, you still believed in me... you were there for me Forever in debt of gratitude Unconditional love and support You paved the way You gave me strength Forget the past Look back at me and I'll be there Through years of discipline to never settle for second best The great provider... the years of sacrifice... you were there for me I've got to find a way to thank my family for everything they've done for me, the sacrifice they made for me You gave me strength Without you my life would not be the same
