What You Left Behind
I can cook you a meal
I can handle all your calls
I can sew a button on your shirt
I can paint your house
And hang the pictures on your walls
I know that in this life we all get hurt
I can drive a forklift
I can iron all your clothes
I can manage all the bills when they come due
I have struggled with depression
Paid the debt that sadness owes
I can put it all into a song for you
And the sun still shines, and the rain still falls
So don't worry yourself at all
For what you left behind
I can look with equal measure
On the good times and the bad
You were always where I needed you to be
I found reservoirs of strength
Inside I never knew I had
And I know that you are
Oh so proud of me
And the sun still shines, and the rain still falls
So don't worry yourself at all
For what you left behind
I have seen so many wonders
I have heard so many names
I've travelled down a million miles of road
I have learned that people everywhere
Are more or less the same
With a smile you can lighten someone's load
I will carry all these lessons
And the gifts that came from you
Altogether in the man that I became
I can walk this world doing what I was meant to do
And sing the song you gave me as my name
And the sun will shine, and the tears will fall
So don't worry yourself tonight
Mom I'm gonna be all right
