[Intro]
 


[Verse 1]
             
  I bet you co

          
uld've used a 

minute
           
    Just a lit

         
tle time alone
             
  But you let 

              
me be your lit

  
tle shadow
           
Following wher

         
ever you would

 go
             
  Then I got a

      
 little older
           
  And you gave

   
 me space to g

row
             
  I don't ever

         
 seem to tell 

you enough but
           
  I want you t

 
o know


[Chorus]
             
When God made 

    
you my mother

d need
             
When he picked

secrets
           
  And you neve

        
r, ever judge
             
  And when I'm

  You give me 

              
strength to st

    
and back up
             
  No amount of

  No place whe

But I'm the lu
