7th Chakra - Mother: You Let Me Grow lyrics

[Verse] October 28, 1995, a day I'll always remember until I die Conceived uncertainty thoughts of the flu sickness Two months later, took the test and found out you were pregnant You were filled with joy, and scared just a little bit Thirteen years after your last, you thought I wasn't gone make it But thats the blessings with God, prayers being answered He put a beautiful son in your life, despite your standards Years later when I was young and relentless And when I thought play time would be endless Sitting in my toy jeep looking up at you Laughing, smiling, driving 'round until I call for you Or until I got hurt, then I called your name out You and dad would run over and help me get up off the ground You would stitch me up if I was hurt in any way Ma' you are there for me for each and every day [Hook x2] From the time that we spent, from the things that we've done With the arguments and fights, now there are none You let me grow from a boy to a man Thank you ma' for helping me understand [Verse] Even though I disappoint you with decisions I make But you know that every boy becomes a man through mistakes You can trust me ma', I'll learn for you So you can be happy that I cared enough to make it Years have pa**ed and I've grown, and changed into a young fellow Lessons that you've taught me throughout life was for the better Now even though I feel upset at times You always seem to make me laugh and then I feel fine Now all the things that you've done has been a real sacrifice Cooked my meals, bought my clothes, and gave me advice To help me through life, and to help me survive through these times You want me to be a great man, educate, and expand my mind And I feel like you tell me this every single day And I appreciate you for it in each and every way And now all that I can say is that I'm sorry for the stuff that I've done But now I can finally call myself your son [Hook x4] From the time that we spent, from the things that we've done With the arguments and fights, now there are none You let me grow from a boy to a man Thank you ma' for helping me understand
