Unconditional Love

Here's to the people who gave me life



And then showed me how to live it



And taught me that you measure love



By how freely you can give it



And the gift I give to you



Is the lesson that I learned



That when a love is true



It has nothing in return



Unconditional love, that they gave to me



It wasn't mine to keep and I knew someday



I'd hand it down to you and hope that I can be



The one who makes you see



The importance of unconditional love



And there were times I know I let them down



But never once was I rejected



And when I stood alone to face this world



Somehow I still felt protected



That's the common bond we share



And it will last through the years



And you can trust that I'll be there



Through the good times and the tears



Unconditional love, like they gave to me



It's not yours to keep and I know someday



Someone will look to you and you will have to be



The one who makes him see



The importance of unconditional love
