Ima

There is a time I can remember
 Days that were spent just you and me
 I shared my childhood dreams and secrets
 You told me how they would come to be
 Oh all those stories that you told me
 I was afraid and you would hold me
 Then you were all that I needed
 I was your world and you were mine
 Ima ima don't you know
 For if you don't by now I will tell you so
 My world was made through you
 It's there in all I do
 For you have taught me shown me
 Helped me grow to be a man
 Still I am your child
 What I would give to be the reason for your smile
 Be all that I can be
 Have your life shine through me
 If I could give you ima all you've given to me
 Now I have grown to understand you
 All that you gave with all your heart
 How you inspired all those around you
 You were my guide right from the start
 And whatever joy or pain I bring you
 These are the words that I will sing you
 Ima ima you're my ima
 No one can ever take your part
 Ima ima don't you know
 For if you don't by now I will tell you so
 My world was made through you
 It's there in all I do
 For you have taught me shown me helped me grow to be a man
 Still I am your child
 What I would give to be the reason for your smile
 Be all that I can be
 Have your light shine through me
 If I could give you ima
 All you've given to me
 Ima ima don't you know for if you don't by now I will tell you so
 My world was made through you
 It's there in all I do
 For you have though me shown me helped me grow to be a man
 Still I am your child
 What I would give to be the reason for your smile
 Be all that I could be
 Have your light shine through me
 If I could give you ima all that you've given to me
 There is a time I can remember
 Days that were spent just you and me
 And when I think about my lifetime
 You are the ima that I see
