Show Me The Way

Someone had to show me the way,
though much of the time I just followed mine
so you watched from the distance, I know.
But it’s clear to me now, wish I’d seen it somehow
and done more to make sure that you know -
your example means more than the whole world to me,
for you stood your whole life for what’s true.
Yeah, somebody had to show me the way…
Mom, I’m grateful that person was you.
