We go back to the days of our youth

My high school sweetheart, my beautiful truth

But seasons change and the years move along

I found myself hurting, feeling everything wrong

I was so alone, sinking into the gray

Until you showed up and you lit up the way

Omayra Gonzalez, you stayed by my side

And gave me the courage I was trying to hide

You made me stronger when I couldn't stand

You brought the healing right into my hand

My heart felt relieved, you made it feel safe

You brought the warmth to a cold, lonely space

When I was down, you showed me the light

Omayra, you made everything right

I remember the monitors, the hospital bed

With so many heavy thoughts trapped in my head

I felt so defeated, I was ready to fold

But you brought a comfort out of the cold

You sat in the room and you made me realize

I was going to heal, I was going to rise

You spoke the words that my spirit had to hear

And suddenly I wasn't drowning in fear

You made me stronger when I couldn't stand

You brought the healing right into my hand

My heart felt relieved, you made it feel safe

You brought the warmth to a cold, lonely space

When I was down, you showed me the light

Omayra, you made everything right

From a teenage romance to the truest of friends

This is a gratitude that just never ends

I appreciate the time, the love, and the grace

You looked at my pain and you stood in its place

I was so weak, but you gave me your power

You were my rock in my darkest hour

Yeah, you made me stronger when I couldn't stand

You brought the healing right into my hand

My heart felt relieved, you made it feel safe

You brought the warmth to a cold, lonely space

When I was down, you showed me the light

Omayra Gonzalez, you made everything right

My heart is safe now, yeah, I'm doing fine

Thank you for being this lifeline of mine
