Christina Aguilera

It seems like a lifetime,
since I felt like a prisoner of my dreams. (yeah)
It took such a long time,
for me to realize just how to be,
and to listen to me.

People think I'm not thankful,
'cause me I've got my hands full,
of good things. (oh)

And I hope I can give back,
a little bit of what you've given me.

So thank you for standing right by me, [I will always love you.] So thank you for being behind me, [You are just so amazing.] And watching me grow and letting others know, that you still believe in what I'll be.

Ha.

So people have said things and times,
about me that wasn't always true,
(ooh yeah)
But you've always been there,
to give that extra love to pull me through,
to do what I gotta do.

There'll always be those ups and downs,
but you always seem to stick around and see,
and see me through to believe.

Yeah,
I hope I can give back a little bit of what you've given me, You give me all that I need.

So thank you for standing right by me, [I thank you for everything.] So thank you for being behind me, [Thank you, Christina] And watching me grow and letting others know, that you still believe in what I'll be. [Sing it, girl]

It took awhile 'til I got to do what I wanted,
And now I'm so happy that it's started where we started.

I'm thanking God that I could be in a,
to do my own thing now,
and make my own decisions.

I'm thank you for being true,
and standing by me through and through.
