(Ayy, yoh)
Oooooo yah Everything I am, it starts with you
Yeah, for the ones who paved the way
Listen now
I look back at the days when I was small
Watching you standing strong, standing tall
Dad, you taught me how to face the fight
Mom, you were the glow in the darkest night
Sacrifices made, yeah you gave your best
Putting my dreams before your own rest
I thank you for the life you gave to me
My first heroes, yeah, my family
Oh, my mom and dad, you are the gold
A love so true, stories untold
Every step I take, I carry your name
You gave me the spark, you gave me the flame
My champions, my joy, my rock, my guide
Always standing right there by my side
I remember the meals, the laughter we shared
Knowing that someone always really cared
Even when the road was looking tough
Your constant love was always more than enough
Now that I'm grown, I see it clear
Everything I need is already here
With the lessons taught and the love you show
You're the reason that I continue to grow
Oh, my mom and dad, you are the gold
A love so true, stories untold
Every step I take, I carry your name
You gave me the spark, you gave me the flame
My champions, my joy, my rock, my guide
Always standing right there by my side
(Yoh!)
Ifwe, we rise, we shine
Because of your love, I'm doing just fine
Natotela for the tears and the sweat
I promise you, I will never forget
So let the world know who made me the man
I'm proud to be part of this special plan
No matter where I go, or how far I fly
Your love stays with me, under the sky
You are my heart, you are my soul
You keep me balanced, you keep me whole
Oh, my mom and dad, you are the gold
A love so true, stories untold
Every step I take, I carry your name
You gave me the spark, you gave me the flame
My champions, my joy, my rock, my guide
Always standing right there by my side
Yeah, you are my gold
Forever grateful, mama and papa
My heroes
(Ayy, yoh)
Always by my side
