Sonya

I was the new kid walking down the hall

Fourth grade felt so big, and I felt so small

Didn't know a single soul inside that room

Just hoping I would find a friend real soon

Then you looked my way across the aisle

And welcomed me in with a beautiful warm smile

Oh, Sonya, you're the one I count on

Honest and caring when the days go wrong

You give your whole heart, never ask for a thing

You're the kind of light that makes the hard times sing

Thank you for standing right by my side

Through every single low and every high

More than a friend in the big life picture

I love you, my unbiological sister

You've always been a vault where my secrets are safe

Trustworthy and loving, my favorite place

When the world gets heavy, you're unselfish and kind

The rarest kind of soul that a person could find

We grew up together from that classroom door

And every single year I appreciate you more

Oh, Sonya, you're the one I count on

Honest and caring when the days go wrong

You give your whole heart, never ask for a thing

You're the kind of light that makes the hard times sing

Thank you for standing right by my side

Through every single low and every high

More than a friend in the big life picture

I love you, my unbiological sister

We don't share a last name, we don't share a tree

But you're the chosen family that was meant for me

I just want to say it, make the message ring clear

Thank you for always, always being right here

Oh, Sonya, you're the one I count on

Honest and caring when the days go wrong

You give your whole heart, never ask for a thing

You're the kind of light that makes the hard times sing

Thank you for standing right by my side

Through every single low and every high

More than a friend in the big life picture

I love you, my unbiological sister
