I came into this world with just my birthday suit
Grew into a boy with lots of dreams
Like an older, bigger, brother, I looked up to you
So full of wisdom and patient as can be
One summer in the back yard by the apricot tree
You helped me build my fort and that meant the world to me
If you could just see me now
I bet you'd be proud
Of how my life has turned out
And the love that I found
Everything you showed me
I still carry with me my friend
If you could just see me now
By the time I moved to middle school you'd moved to l.A.
You couldn't wait to break out on your own
So in your barely runnin', fifty dollar chevrolet
You drove away into the great unknown
No it wasn't just a sunday drive
You had bigger things to do
I'm still happy and alive
Thank god that I had you
If you could just see me now
I bet you'd be proud
Of how my life has turned out
And the love that I found
Everything you showed me
I still carry with me my friend
If you could just see me now
Your love is the reason I'm alive today
I look to the skys and pray
Thank god for yesterday
If you could just see me now
I bet you'd be proud
Of how my life has turned out
And the love that I found
Everything you showed me
I still carry with me my friend
If you could just see me now
