verse 1
Here's to the people who gave me life.
And then showed me how to live it.
And taught me that you measure love,
By how freely you can give it.
And the gift I give to you,
Is the lesson that I learned.
That when a love is true,
It asks nothing in return.
Unconditional love, that they gave to me,
it wasn't mine to keep and I knew someday;
I'd hand it down to you.
In hopes that I can be, the one who makes
you see the importance of,
unconditional love.
verse 2
There were times I know I let them down
but never once was I rejected.
And when I stood alone to face this world,
somehow I still felt protected.
Bridge
That's the common bond we share.
And it will last through the years.
And you can trust that I'll be there.
Through the good times and the tears.
Unconditional love, like they gave to me,
it's not yours to keep and I know someday;
someone will look to you and you will have
to be, the one who makes them see the
importance of, unconditional love.
