FIRST FRIEND

I'm not much of a dancer, I have so much to say. I don't talk so well, gonna try them both today. You breathed new life in me, every time I fell.

Kept my heart warm yeah, when it was cold as hell.

Never faced a battle, you said I couldn't win,

And even if I didn't, you said we'd get them in the end. Tonight I wrote a letter, just so we don't forget.

Mom I hope it speaks to you. Here it goes this is it...

-Chorus-

I am because of you. I am because you are. I am because you hear the voice inside my heart. So mom we finally made it, and I'll love you past the end. Before I turn the page tonight, I want to dance with my first friend.

Mom I asked her father, a conversation from the grave, The biggest door I've knocked on, by far is heaven's gate's.

It was you that gave me courage, Because of you I'm brave, from crawling to walking, from school to this place.

Tonight I'm a dancer, just believe I won't forget, I won't remove this place in time here it goes this is it.

-Chorus-

I am because of you. I am because you are. I am because you hear the voice inside my heart. I'm here because you loved, I learned because you forgave.

I'm as proud of you as you are me, and the sacrifice you made.

So mom we finally made it, and I'll love you past the end. Before I turn the page tonight, I want to dance with my first friend.

Be mine just one more time. I'm yours and you are mine. My first friend. My first friend.

-Chorus-

I am because of you. I am because you are.

I am because you love so much and hear the voice inside my heart. I'm here because you loved. I learned because you forgave.

I'm as proud of you as you are me, and the sacrifice you made.

So mom we finally made it, and I'll love you past the end. Before we turn the page tonight, I want to dance with my first friend.

My first friend.
