I cried for hours
Sobbing into my mother's arms
I couldn't help but say sorry
For everything I've ever done
My body ached with guilt
I never treated my mom like a queen
All the while, she always deserved to
I was just the disrespectful teen
My mom seldom asks for much
She only wants the best for me
I couldn't see it was out of love
And for that mom, I really hope you can forgive me
I'm sorry for lying to you all those nights
When I really went out with my friends
"No, I didn't drink at all."
See, those were the days when I wasn't very content
Especially when you we found out you had cancer
Mom, I didn't know what else to do
But sulk in my misery and shame
This was the nightmare I never saw coming true
I realize you're going through a difficult path in life
But it doesn't mean you have to go through it alone
I'll forever be here for you mom
And you can bet that promise will not be postponed
You've gone through enough for me
Now it's time for me to give back
What I took for granted so much
I'm gaining something from you that I lacked
Your ability to stay strong
Through the toughest of times
I guess I had to have gotten it from somewhere
Because I'm always the first at the finish line
You just gotta believe momma
This disease can't beat you down
Your family's cheering you on from the stands
You can't just give up now
God's angels are on your shoulders
Guiding you along your struggle
A beautiful woman like you
Should never have to go through this much trouble
I'm proud to say you're my mom
I hold that at the top of my heart
Breast cancer will never have its victory
And when you win, that's going to be the sweetest part
But for now, I have to thank God
For helping me see what's important in my life
Not alcohol, parties, or material things
It's family that keeps me alive
