Lyric

When I heard your voice calling out my name

The whole wide world put the shadows to shame

"Welcome home" and "I'm back" again

A gentle magic, a soothing rain

Right here, this is where my life began

Through the lonely days and the days of joy

We painted colors that time can't destroy

More than words could ever try to say

Our hearts stayed warm in a quiet way

Thank you so much, I love you so

More than you could ever know

Being your daughter, being with you

Was the greatest happiness I ever knew

These feelings won't fade, they'll never die

Even as I journey to a brand new sky

I’ll always be "right by your side."

We wove our poems and dreamed our dreams

The laughter and tears, like golden beams

You held me tight and said "It’s okay,"

That warmth is something that's here to stay

We had our fights, we had our storms

Your heart was full in so many forms

Crying out loud or laughing so free

That's the mother that I love to see

I’m glad it was you, Mom, just you and me

I’m moving out now, it feels a bit strange

But the "home" we built will never change

Inside my heart, it’s tucked away

I’m passing the baton to my next day

Taking all my love for you along the way

I love you, thank you for everything

The proof I lived is the smile you bring

On the journey ahead, through the highs and lows

I pray that the light follows where you go

I’ll always be "right by your side..."
