​

You were a strong one, how did you hold on

How did you go on alone

Nothing to hold you, but you were carrying me

And you had to see it was gonna be hard

​

But you made a choice you didn't have to make

You chose to keep me

When others said you could make it go away

​

You could never see the choice you made then

Was gonna be a choice that changed it all

And I need to say it's because of your strength I'm here today

I'm here at all

​

You had a hard road, juggling jobs

Dusk until dawn, so you could have your days​

Because a little girl depended on your love

But you must have thought about sometimes giving up

​

A few years later you go the news, you could never have another

You'd never regretted your decision but now it meant more
