Sandra

Sandra, my mother, my very best friend

I'm your firstborn baby, with you to the end

I look in your eyes and I'm looking at my twin

I'm your mini-me, Mama, where do I begin?

You're smart and you're funny, a kind-hearted soul

I know you're getting older, taking on a new role

A little bit fragile, but so beautifully strong

Right here by your side is exactly where I belong

'Cause you are my rock, and I am your rock, too

We can overcome anything, just me and you

You're the best mama in the world, my guiding light

I'd pick you in heaven and in every other life

Over and over again, I'd choose you from the start

There are not enough words to show you my heart

I think back to the days I was lost in the streets

Caught up in the drugs, letting the gangster life lead

But you never gave up, you stayed on your knees

Sending up prayers, asking heaven for peace

You taught me 'bout Jesus when I was a child

The best thing you ever did to save me from the wild

You pulled me from the dark and back into the grace

Now I'm standing right here, looking at your smiling face

'Cause you are my rock, and I am your rock, too

We can overcome anything, just me and you

You're the best mama in the world, my guiding light

I'd pick you in heaven and in every other life

Over and over again, I'd choose you from the start

There are not enough words to show you my heart

You've been through so much in this life that we live

But look at you now, with so much love left to give

And whenever it gets heavy, or a little absurd

We just say "Pineapple"—our own special word

It's a little reminder of the bond that we share

I'll always be with you, Mama, I swear

'Cause you are my rock, and I am your rock, too

We can overcome anything, just me and you

You're the best mama in the world, my guiding light

I'd pick you in heaven and in every other life

Over and over again, I'd choose you from the start

There are not enough words to show you my heart, Sandra
