Lyrics

*(Verse 1)*
To my grandpa, to my best friend's mom
To the neighbor who showed up when things went wrong
You didn’t have to, but you always cared
Through the hardest times, you were there

*(Chorus)*
Thank you for being there when no one else could be
For building me up when the world was hard to see
You may not remember the things you gave to me
But you're the ones who raised me

*(Verse 2)*
To the teacher who stayed after class each day
And the stranger at the mall who helped me find my way
You didn’t have to hold me when I cried
But you saw the pain I couldn’t hide

*(Chorus)*
Thank you for being there when no one else could be
For building me up when the world was hard to see
You may not remember the things you gave to me
But you're the ones who raised me

*(Bridge)*
To the older girls who were never mine
But talked me through the heartbreaks every time
And the aunties who shared their love and care
Though we’re not blood, you were always there

*(Chorus)*
Thank you for being there when no one else could be
For building me up when the world was hard to see
You may not remember the things you gave to me
But you're the ones who raised me

*(Outro)*
For being my parent when mine couldn’t stay
For guiding me through every step of the way
You might not recall my face or my name
But I’ll always remember just the same
Thank you for being there when no one else could be
You’re the ones who raised me.
