mum

you raised me from a boy into a man all on your own

and every night you tucked me into bed when daddy wasn't home

you told me bedtime stories

made me breakfast every morning

you gave me the only real affection that i've ever known

and i know you are still missing daddy's face

no father figure needs to take his place

so i wanna say

thank you for all you've done

i am the man i am today 'cause i'm your son

and i hope you knew

what i couldn't say out loud

when i grew up to be a man

i hope i made you proud

i hope i made you proud

i know at times you were scared when things got a little rough

cause you were raising five kids all alone and that's a little tough

you're my inspiration

from my first breath taken

don't ever feel like you could have done more

mum you did enough

so i wanna say

thank you for all you've done

i am the man i am today 'cause i'm your son

and i hope you knew

what i couldn't say out loud

when i grew up to be a man

i hope i made you proud

you're an angel with your heart of gold

you're helping gran

now she's getting old

put the kindness in your eyes

you help us all

you're always there to catch me when i fall

so i wanna say

thank you for all you've done

i am the man i am today 'cause i'm your son

and i wanna let you know

and i'll say it out loud

i'm all grown up

you made this man

so i wanna say

thank you for all you've done

i am the man i am today 'cause i'm your son

and i hoped you knew

what i couldn't say out loud

when i grew up to be a man

i hope i made you proud

i hope i made you proud
