[Verse 1] Every day gets better, though some days still weigh me down, I rely on courage when the hard times come around. I’m Half of Mom, half of Dad, their stories live in me, Our family tree’s still reaching toward the sky, and ‘Hugs are always free!’ [Pre-Chorus] When I live my live with kindness, when I let my own heart mend, I’m holding them beside me, their love’s with me and, then- [Chorus] Their light still shines in all I do, In every loving way I follow through. Their lessons bloom in words I say, Their favorite songs are sung each day. I freely give what they gave to me; Their love keeps traveling endlessly. [Verse 2] Those M&M cookies could still win first prize, A ribbon at the county fair beneath the summer skies. The farm requires every hand and tender loving care, And sweetness finds its way to all the hearts we share. [Pre-Chorus] When I live my live with kindness, when I let my own heart mend, I’m holding them beside me, their love’s with me and, then- [Chorus] Their light still shines in all I do, In every loving way I follow through. Their lessons bloom in words I say, Their favorite songs are sung each day. I freely give what they gave to me; Their love keeps traveling endlessly. [Bridge] The flowers they planted years ago still open to the sun, A quiet proof that love lives on, its work is never done. It crosses every mile and finds a heart in need, A kindness passed from hand to hand, a growing family tree. [Final Chorus] Their light still shines in all I do, In every loving way I follow through. Their lessons bloom in words I say, Their favorite songs are sung each day. I freely give what they gave to me; Their love keeps traveling endlessly. [Outro] Some days are hard, but love stays near, In songs, in blooms, in all held dear.
