Back when I was just me, oh
You were always there to help and support my dreams
And you've encouraged me to see
And want so much more out of life
And you said never mind your fears
'Cause soon they will pass in time
And I want to thank you see 'cause

All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud to say
That you helped make me into what I am today
I applaud you for being so patient with me
All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud to say
No one else could do what you have done for me
You mean the world to me, yeah

There were times when I was so frustrated with you
I felt I didn't want you no more but then I realized
That without you I would be so alone, yeah
But I chose to deal with you, whether right or wrong
And I'm so glad I did 'cause

All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud to say
That you helped make me into what I am today
I applaud you for being so patient with me
All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud to say
No one else could do what you have done for me
You mean the world to me, yeah

See you came and changed my life
You turned an empty heart to work of art
And open my eyes to the world
I would have never known, for that I'm grateful
You are my pride and my joy
The closest thing to me next to the God above
And will forever be my first love
And I'm always gonna give my all to you see 'cause

All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud to say
That you helped make me into what I am today
I applaud you for being so patient with me
All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud to say
No one else could do what you have done for me
You mean the world to me, yeah

All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud to say
That you helped make me into what I am today
I applaud you for being so patient with me
All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud to say
No one else could do what you have done for me
You mean the world to me, yeah
