[Verse 1: Luke Gawne]
I was so gone, see I wasn’t supposed go on
I probably would have let go if y’all didn’t hold on to me
Honestly, mom and dad I’m so god
Damn thankful y’all was there for me
Cause I wouldn’t have made it through
And there’s nothing that I could say or do
To ever repay you two, but hey
This song I made for you
On the behalf of me and Paul
Gabriella, Nick and Rebecca too
I promise you we’re grateful
It should be obvious we’re thankful too
And if there ever comes a day where I’m a parent
I solemnly swear to you
That I’mma pay my dues
And raise hell, with the same love, and caring you
Wait
Emotion’s wearing through
I need a minute
[Chorus: Niklas Carson]
And whenever I’m lost, I know where to turn
My Childhood home, the place where I was born to learn
How to stand on my own, they put me on my feet
Taught me to follow my heart
Taught me to chase my dreams
[Verse 2: Luke Gawne]
Mom
I want you to know, that you’re the most beautiful person
On this earth and, shit, who’d have known
That a little Hispanic girl from the west side of Chicago
Could get by on her own
Single mom alone, till you met my father
But still, I don’t know
How you work that job no more
35 years on grind, it’s time to go
It’s time to be at home
It’s time for me to take some load off your shoulders
And make some dough
That’s why I’m thankful yo
That god gave me this gift and I ain’t gonna waste it, no
I promise you the day I blow you’ll be a stay at home mother
And that is just the only way it goes
'Cause I know you’re stubborn, tou had to be with 5 brothers
3 sisters, and five kids, that’s my mother, I love her
[Chorus: Niklas Carson]
And whenever I’m lost, I know where to turn
My Childhood home, the place where I was born to learn
How to stand on my own, they put me on my feet
Taught me to follow my heart
Taught me to chase my dreams
[Verse 3: Luke Gawne]
Dad, you were the one at home, when I was alone
But I wasn’t on my own
No, you were in my corner
You were my support, when the doctors were dead wrong
You kept me head strong, when I felt Insane
Cause you felt my pain
Along with every Migraine, and my eye strains…
Cause you was hurt as bad as me
It was sad to see, but actually
You passed to me the greatest gift of all
And that’s my rapping
You taught me how to be an artist
And forever I’ll be grateful for that dad
I promise
[Chorus: Niklas Carson]
And whenever I’m lost, I know where to turn
My Childhood home, the place where I was born to learn
How to stand on my own, they put me on my feet
Taught me to follow my heart
Taught me to chase my dreams
