Let me tell ya a story about a lady Who is strong willed and courageous She's my inspiration The foot hill of los andes She grew up 'til they stole away her dreams And so she had to flee Life is too short she thought I know I'll make it Always To the new world I know I can make my home 'Cause every day I'm getting closer Always To my destination that's where I will go Here we are Twenty and some gone by You worked hard all your life And I wrote this song for I Always Will be proud of who I am So mama Don't be tempted to be saddened by what they might say Always To the high, look forward Don't look back, I'm thankful 'Cause you taught me to bring out the best in me Every time I'm feeling Frustrated or uneasy I know I can count on her love and her affection Like the sun she warms me In her arms I'm cradled Like a new born baby With her I can surrender In this life she said You'll fail then you will grow Always Just remember who you are You're not alone And every day you're getting closer Always To your destination that's where you belong
