Forever In Your Debt

I am forever in your debt
As you cast away all of my sorrow
As I can live for today
And be free from tomorrow
I am forever in your debt
For I have learned to guide my own way
Yet with you not far from my side
I may long to live another day
I am forever in your debt
Because it was you who gave me life
Guiding my path in the right direction 
Through warmth, devotion, and sacrifice
I am forever in your debt
My eyes may never see the storms of the falling rain
My ears my never hear the roars of the streets
And my heart my never feel the world’s pain
I am forever in your debt
For a true hero lives inside of thee
You are the essence to the definition of strength
A true gift that reflects God’s love for me
I am forever in your debt
For you are the blood that floats through me
You are the reflection of my life’s dream
For you are and have always been the mother I needed you to be
