i gotta thank my family they always by my side
they support me and they challenge me to always try to thrive
wouldn't be the man i am today without what i have learned
from my mother sister father yes they all can take their turn
yes they all can take their turn
yes they all can take their (love you babe)
if you had the family i did i'm sure you woulda told
that the most important riches never rooted in gold
my mother she's so special gotta beautiful soul
mixing personal achievements with the usual role
of a caring loving mother overbearing never smothered
she just showed me how its possible to cherish one another
she's a healer, she's an artist you can feel she works the hardest
she's believing from the start that i can always go the farthest
and my father, he's my teacher, helped to mold my every feature
showed me right and wrong are lessons learned without the need of preachers
gave me tools for independence, said stay humble and be kind
wouldn't say he taught me patience but i don't think that i mind
cus its passion that is driving me, the will to be successful
don't mean nothing if i your doing work that always feels so stressful
gotta find the things you care about, the things that seem important
then just find a way to do it well and that is a good fortune
to my sister know i miss you, keep on sending me those pictures
you headed towards your happiness and that is what i wish ya
when are you coming home? won't you keep me up to date
know i'll see you pretty soon i won't leave it up to fate
always been creative too hope you know you helped me mold
every piece that i produce and every story that i've told
what will the pages hold when your life story unfolds
guess the answers will be told when we've grown up very old
