	Story Behind the Song I came up with the guitar line, and I really liked it. I knew I had to write a song that was fun to match the sound, and I was trying to decide between two themes: a love song and a sort of "you're my inspiration" type song. I felt that it was time for me to branch out a little more with my songwriting, so I asked a childhood friend, and she suggested that I go with the more inspirational. She then helped me polish the song (I thought it sounded corny at first) So, I wrote this song for all the people, past and present (and future for that matter) who have made my aspirations of being a professional musician that much more real. Thanks to all of y'all... you know who you are! *smile* Lyrics You don't know just what you mean When it comes down to things with me Cuz you have been such a source of inspiration in my times of need And that truth I'll always keep Cuz sometimes in my life I've been confused And the simplest answers come from you Cuz you have never tried to change in any way where I'm going, what i want And so I want to Give this thanks to you from my heart Chorus: Cuz I could not be all that I am without you No strength could I celebrate without you Since you've done So much To lift me up And all my dreams wouldn't be as real without you No hopes would seem as near You should always know I owe so much to you Whatever I felt that I could be You made stronger still by believing in me And I could not have played so many times Without you by my side So I want to thank you For seeing me through all those late nights Chorus Bridge: My life has been so blessed because of you I don't know where I'd be now If I hadn't had you here all along Cuz I could not be all that I am without you No strength could I celebrate without you Since you've done So much To lift me up And all my dreams wouldn't be as real without you No hopes would seem as near You should always know I owe so much to you and you and you and you Cuz I could not be all that I am without you No strength could I celebrate without you Since you've done So much To lift me up And all my dreams wouldn't be as real without you No hopes would seem as near You should always know I owe so much to you
