CJ

Twenty-four years ago, yeah, the story began

Nine months in the womb, now look at this man

I remember the days out on the baseball dirt

Assistant coach Mom in the team t-shirt

With a bat and a glove, you were showing your heart

You were loving and caring right from the start

Smart as a whip, yeah, you soaked it all in

I knew from the jump you were destined to win

You’re the reason I’m a mother, the light of my days

Strong and determined in so many ways

Whatever you picture, whatever you see

You set your mind to it and make it reality

No matter how grown, no matter how far away

CJ, you are and will always be my bebé

I had a front-row seat to watch you elevate

Cheering so loud every time you would graduate

Crossing the stages and reaching your goals

Putting your heart and your mind in control

Now you stepped up and you put on the boots

Serving in the Army, staying true to your roots

I’m bursting with pride looking at who you became

A soldier, a leader, you're making a name

You’re the reason I’m a mother, the light of my days

Strong and determined in so many ways

Whatever you picture, whatever you see

You set your mind to it and make it reality

No matter how grown, no matter how far away

CJ, you are and will always be my bebé

Yeah, the uniform changes, but your spirit is true

There is nothing in this world that my son cannot do

Through the drills and the miles, know I got your back

I'm your number one fan, and that's an absolute fact

I will always be here for you, no matter what hits

My love is forever, yeah, it never quits

'Cause you’re the reason I’m a mother, the light of my days

Strong and determined in so many ways

Whatever you picture, whatever you see

You set your mind to it and make it reality

No matter how grown, no matter how far away

I love you, CJ, always my bebé
