Lyrics:
You always told me
You always showed me
Things I’ve never known, no
All the things I ever wanted to know
You told me the things
You taught me everything
If I am alone now
I’ll stand and I’ll grow up
Cause I’m so much better than before
[Chorus]
A highlight on what you did before
Will help to understand
If I take a look on what you did before
Yes I’ll be a better man
You always told me
You always showed me
That I am someone
That I should do the best I can
You told me the things
You taught me everything
That I do
That I know
That I can be the best I can
[Chorus] x2
Yes I’ll be a better man
