From the recording The Mentor's Mentor
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I remember when you were just a child,
Escaping your crib with efforts so mild.
Not sure of the life that you were living,
Now I see knowledge in your eyes, I haven't given.
(Verse 2)
You followed the road that I helped you find,
But you walked it in a way that’s unlike mine.
Now I look at you, wise beyond your years,
A patient heart that calms others' fears.
You have grown into someone that I admire,
Your wisdom seems to ever grow higher.
(Chorus)
You’re a mother, a partner, and a friend so true,
I see the world new, seeing it from your view.
Through our shared journeys, you guide me too,
Oh, my niece, I love so much about you.
You’ve got my back, and I’ve got yours,
Through life’s wild winds and closed doors.
(Verse 3)
You’re steady like the tide, honest and kind,
Building with love, a life with your unique mind.
You’ve taken the lessons I have shared,
And turned it into something rare.
Now I find that sometimes you mentor me,
Teaching me the wisdom that I didn’t see.
I'll make time for you, even with life's going-ons,
Our connection is as strong as covalent bonds!
(Chorus)
You’re a mother, a partner, and a friend so true,
I see the world new, I see it from your view.
Through our busy journeys, you help me too,
Oh, my niece, I respect so much about you.
You’ve got my back, and I’ve got yours,
Through life's struggles and closed doors.
(Bridge)
We’re two souls, connected yet free,
You have become so important to me.
I’ve watched you grow, now you help me see,
Much of the beauty, in life’s, mystery!...
(Outro)
So here’s to you, my niece, so wise and bright,
Through you, I find a way to love the light.
And even though I know how very far apart we are,
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.
Even if not side by side, we’ll still face it all,
With you and you me, may we never fall!...
