Because of you I can dream
You taught me to dream big
So I did.

Because of you I am not afraid
To be myself
To stand up for what I believe in

Because of you I can be the person
That I am today instead of who
Someone else wants me to be.

Because of you I have faith
In the things I do
I wont settle for less than I deserve.

Because of you I can do things
I never thought I could do
Now I can go the distance.

Because of you I am someone
I can be proud of
Someone I can respect.

You're my mentor, my hero, my brother
My life long friend
Always.
