Mentors Lyrics

In the echoes of the past I hear the voices clear

The lessons and the wisdom that brought me here

Each word a stepping stone each hand a guiding touch

They shaped the man I've become I owe them so much

In the quiet of the classroom I learned the power of the mind

My teachers showed me wisdom a treasure few can find

They said "You're smart you've got it just trust the path you choose"

With every word they planted I knew there's nothing I could lose

My mom's voice was my anchor in storms both wild and fierce

"Be strong be balanced steady" her words cut through my fears

And when my dad took my hand he showed me how to stand

"Treat her like a queen" he said "And be your own man"

To the mentors in my life who taught me how to rise

You gave me wings you gave me fight and opened up my eyes

Through darkness and through doubt your light has been my guide

With strength power and confidence I walk with you inside

My coaches in the ring they taught me how to fight

But more than fists and fury they showed me inner might

"Win your battles with your mind the body will follow suit"

With every hit I took I found my deepest roots

And friends who stood beside me when dreams seemed far away

You told me I could have it all that I'd find my day

With every challenge faced with every mountain climbed

Your belief in me was the fire that burned inside

To the mentors in my life who taught me how to rise

You gave me wings you gave me fight and opened up my eyes

Through darkness and through doubt your light has been my guide

With strength power and confidence I walk with you inside

"Mark" my mother told me "Patience is your key

Rush into things without a thought and you'll find no victory"

Her words they carved a path that's led me to today

With patience as my weapon I'll never lose my way

To the mentors in my life who taught me how to rise

You gave me wings you gave me fight and opened up my eyes

Through darkness and through doubt your light has been my guide

With strength power and confidence I walk with you inside

To the ones who lit my way I carry you in stride

With every step I take you're walking by my side

Your strength and wisdom flow through everything I do

This journey's not just mine; it's all thanks to you

And as I face tomorrow I know I'll always find

The mentors of my past still guiding from behind

With gratitude and honor I raise my head up high

For in your lessons I found my wings to fly
