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
