I Am Because You Were
Legacy of Love: Embracing the Light You Left Behind
Lyrics
I’m at a loss for words
I am struggling to find words to express my feelings.
I’ll never forget what I just heard
I will always remember what I have just been told.
The doctor came to tell us that you departed
A doctor informed us of your departure.
Oh every time you cross my mind I’m broken hearted
Thoughts of you leave me emotionally wounded each time.
Now I just wanna be someone you’d be proud of
I aspire to become someone you would be proud of.
I’m working on a better me, being filled with love
I am actively working on self-improvement and embracing love.
You were the light in my life
You were a significant source of brightness in my life.
And knowing that, I can get through this strife
Recognizing this, I believe I can overcome challenges.
I know that this was meant to be
I understand that this was destined to happen.
But you will always be a father to me
Despite the circumstances, you will always be a father figure to me.
I always thought you’d be there to walk me down the aisle
I had always imagined you walking me down the aisle.
You’d send me off and watch me face my trials
You would witness and support me as I faced life's challenges.
You’d teach me in hard times to pray
You would guide me to pray during difficult times.
And look to God when I can’t seem to find my way
Encouraging me to turn to God when I lose my way.
Now I just wanna be someone you’d be proud of
My goal is to become someone you would be proud of.
I’m working on a better me, being filled with love
I am actively working on self-improvement and embracing love (repeated).
You were the light in my life
You were a significant source of brightness in my life (repeated).
And knowing that, I can get through this strife
Recognizing this, I believe I can overcome challenges (repeated).
I know that this was meant to be
I understand that this was destined to happen (repeated).
But you will always be a father to me
Despite the circumstances, you will always be a father figure to me (repeated).
But now you’re gone
You are no longer present.
I just gotta move on
I must find a way to move forward.
I am Because You Were
My identity is shaped by your influence.
So I just wanna be who you were
I aspire to embody the qualities that defined who you were.
