I put my life into this
I used my time, my heart and soul
My every fear
Through the darkest moments of my life
I gave it everything I had (everything I had)

This house I built with the help of many hands
I could not have withstood the seasons
Without a proper foundation the structure would crumble
You kept the walls from closing in on me

You always said you could fly if you dream
I’ve spread my wings because you pushed me

I’m standing here on your shoulders
Braced by those who chose to carry me
Forever strong because our friends became family

You would never let me give up on my dreams
Now when I lay awake at night I won’t wonder what could have been

I used my time, my life
My heart and soul
My every fear
Through the darkest moments of my life
I gave it everything I had (everything)

Forever I will try to show you what this gift meant to me

I’m standing here on your shoulders
Braced by those who chose to carry me
Forever strong because our friends became family

A solid foundation, the structure still crumbled
You kept the walls from closing in on me
