Mum – Nathan Grisdale

You raised me from a boy into a man all on your own,
And every night you tucked me into bed when daddy wasn’t home,
You told me bedtime stories,
Made me breakfast every morning,
You gave me the only real affection that I’ve ever known,

And I know you are still missing daddy’s face,
No father figure needs to take his place,

So I wanna say,
Thank you for all you’ve done,
I am the man I am today ‘cause I’m your son,
And I hope you knew,
What I couldn’t say out loud,
When I grew up to be a man,
I hope I made you proud,
I hope I made you proud,

I know at times you were scared when things got a little rough,
Cause you were raising five kids all alone and that’s a little tough,
You’re my inspiration, from my first breath taken,
Don’t ever feel like you could have done more,
Mum you did enough,

So I wanna say,
Thank you for all you’ve done,
I am the man I am today ‘cause I’m your son,
And I hope you knew,
What I couldn’t say out loud,
When I grew up to be a man,
I hope I made you proud,

You’re an angel with your heart of gold,
You’re helping gran, now she’s getting old,
Put the kindness in your eyes,
You help us all,
You’re always there to catch me when I fall,

So I wanna say,
Thank you for all you’ve done,
I am the man I am today ‘cause I’m your son,
And I wanna let you know,
And I’ll say it out loud,
I’m all grown up,
You made this man,

So I wanna say,
Thank you for all you’ve done,
I am the man I am today ‘cause I’m your son,
And I hoped you knew,
What I couldn’t say out loud,
When I grew up to be a man,
I hope I made you proud,
I hope I made you proud,
