There isn't anything Or anyone that I can be And it just wouldn't feel right
If I didn't have you by my side, You were there for me to love and care for me, When skies were grey
Whenever I was down, You were always there to comfort me,

And you took up for me, When everyone was downin' me, You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on, There were so many times, Looking back when I was so afraid, And then you come to me, And say to me I can face anything,

Grandma, you taught me how to pray, I remember the nights when I had to kneel at your feet and recite my scripture lesson and say my prayers, I remember the nights before 13 Sabbath I would have to recite all 13 scriptures for you,
