Lynette, I know the choice was hard to make
You gave a piece of your own soul away
You made a sacrifice and said a quiet prayer
Hoping I would find a good life out there
You had a heart of gold right from the start
Even when it meant breaking your own heart
ChorusI never held a single ounce of animosity
Because of you, a beautiful life was given to me
Two amazing parents raised me in the light
But I love you for putting me first, making it right
You loved me enough to let me go
And with open arms, you welcomed me home
Verse 2I still remember the first day we finally met
A beautiful moment that I will never forget
You looked at me and opened up your arms
Pulled me right in, keeping me safe from harm
You held me so tight, the feeling was so true
I never, ever wanted to let go of you
ChorusI never held a single ounce of animosity
Because of you, a beautiful life was given to me
Two amazing parents raised me in the light
But I love you for putting me first, making it right
You loved me enough to let me go
And with open arms, you welcomed me home
BridgeThere was never any anger, no heavy weight
Just a deep respect for the unselfish choice you made
It takes a special kind of woman to do what you did
To step into the shadows just to bless your kid
Now we have this bond, beautifully restored
Everything you prayed for, and so much more
Verse 3So dry your eyes if you ever shed a tear
I’m standing right beside you, I am here
Your heart of gold is shining through the years
Washing away all the doubts and the fears
I am exactly where I’m meant to be
Loving the mother who gave up everything for me
Final ChorusI never held a single ounce of animosity
Because of you, a beautiful life was given to me
Two amazing parents raised me in the light
But I love you for putting me first, making it right
You loved me enough to let me go
And with open arms, you welcomed me home
Lynette, you welcomed me home
