[verse 1] [no instruments] A single mother raising two kids She worked hard to give us everything we needed She gave shelter, her love, and wisdom For my sister and me [verse 2] [introduce instruments] Life wasn’t always easy But it rarely felt hard and then I see sacrifices you made And I know you do it all again [chorus] I am the man I’ve become This life that you gave to me Because you gave me the gift To be who I wanted to be [bridge] [acoustic guitar solo] [verse 3] Mom You once told me That I could do anything with no limit You told me to never stop dreaming I could do all it if I set my mind to it [chorus] I am the man I’ve become This life that you gave to me Because you gave me the gift To be who I wanted to be [final verse] What I’m really saying, mom Is that I love you Nothing else in the world Could make anything else more true [chorus] [vocals only] I am the man I’ve become This life that you gave to me Because you gave me the gift To be who I wanted to be [stop and pause music] [chorus] [instrumentals added back] [slowed down] I am exactly the man… I’ve become This life that you gave to me Because you gave me the gift To be who I wanted to be [fade out instrumentals]
