Verse 1
G Bm
Here's to the people who gave me life.
C G
And then showed me how to live it.
Bm
And taught me that you measure love,
C G
By how freely you can give it.
Em A
And the gift I give to you,
C G
Is the lesson that I learned.
Em A
That when a love is true,
C D
It asks nothing in return.
Chorus 1
G Em C
Unconditional love, that they gave to me,

it wasn't mine to keep and I knew someday;
Em
I'd hand it down to you.
C
In hopes that I can be, the one who makes
D D7 C
you see the importance of,
D G Bm Am C D
unconditional love.
Verse 2
G Bm
There were times I know I let them down
C G
but never once was I rejected.
Bm
And when I stood alone to face this world,
C G
somehow I still felt protected.
Bridge

That's the common bond we share.

And it will last through the years.

And you can trust that I'll be there.
C D
Through the good times and the tears.

to be, the one who makes them see the
