G
I hope you're proud
Am
Of a son who still must travel distant lands
C G
Sometime we have no choice in what we do

G
I was not allowed
Am
To see the wisdom of all the steps you had to take
C G
Now that I'm much older, now I do

Am G
Thanks for keeping me fed
Am G
Thanks for keeping me warm
Am D Am D G
Thanks for all the sleepless nights pedaling your sewing machine

G
You took the time
Am
To make sure that I became a righteous man
C G
I hope I did my best learning from you

G
I go back in time
Am
I get a lump on my throat for what I've done
C G
Forgiven me you have... Just by knowing you

Refrain

G
And life goes on
Am
Even though once in a while you hear from me
C G
I know in your daily prayers I am on.

G
I will pass on
Am
All the lessons of this life you've given me
C G
I'm sure I had the best being your son

Refrain
