I was only seventeen when you came into my life
Didn't have a single clue, just struggling through the strife
I was lost in the shadows, didn't know what to do
But the darkness faded out the second I held you
You were the shining light that helped me find my way
My reason to keep fighting every single day
ChorusShane, you're my reason for living, right from the start
I will love you forever, with all of my heart
No matter how old you get, as the years go flying by
You will always be my special boy, my special little guy
If I could give you anything in this world, near or far
I'd reach up to the heavens and hand you your very own star
Verse 2Your kind heart is amazing, you're generous and thoughtful too
With a smart and logical mind in everything you do
Your determination to succeed was noticed by everyone
Sometimes it's still hard to believe you're my grown-up son
But underneath the wisdom and the quiet strength you show
Is the same sweet spirit I've been so blessed to know
ChorusShane, you're my reason for living, right from the start
I will love you forever, with all of my heart
No matter how old you get, as the years go flying by
You will always be my special boy, my special little guy
If I could give you anything in this world, near or far
I'd reach up to the heavens and hand you your very own star
BridgeYou used to stare up at the moon in the midnight sky
Wondering why we couldn't touch it, always asking me why
You were so curious about the heavens up above
And that's just one more thing about you that I'll always love
You're perfect just the way you are, standing in the light
The boy who gave me hope when I was learning how to fight
Final ChorusShane, you're my reason for living, right from the start
I will love you forever, with all of my heart
No matter how old you get, as the years go flying by
You will always be my special boy, my special little guy
If I could give you anything in this world, near or far
I'd reach up to the heavens and hand you your very own star
