When I was young You held my hand Tucked me into the blanket Brother slept overhead When I was scared You sang to me Said there were angels Watching as I fell asleep And I wanna say thank you I wanna say thank you For teaching this heart How to hold onto faith How to learn something new every day You let mama rest on Mondays Taught us the birds and the bible The shape of the Great Lakes And the way that you looked at Grandpa Taught me that love was as real As the strings that I'm playing on And I wanna say thank you I wanna say thank you For teaching this heart How to love through the pain How to learn something new Every day How can I write you a song That covers all 27 years? These 27 years have flown And I wanna say thank you I wanna say thank you I wanna say thank you Someday I hope I'll have a child And I'll watch as the wonder Fills up those little eyes And I'll teach her songs and history Tell her all of the things That my grandma once said to me I'll teach her heart how to hold onto faith How to love who you love through the pain How to run till you finish the race How to learn something new everyday
