You moved mountains to raise us.You braved the fiercest storms to protect us.You carried us through rough waters,All by yourself,All by yourself.You encouraged us to fly,Reach for the sky.And I tried.I tried because of you.I tried for you.I flew for you.So you can seeYou've done your part well.You were a big part of me.You were not the wind beneath my wings,You were my wings!Now you're gone,I am without wings.All these timeYou never left usYou never flew becauseYou used your wings to shield us.Now it's time, mother.It's your turn.It's your turn to fly!Go spread your wings and fly high!Go soar in the sky!And when my time draws nigh,Come take me with your smile.
