To all the
mothers who have
watched their
children grow,
And then were brave enough to let them go.
To the fathers who gave dignity, not shame,
To the families who are more than just a fam'ly name.
To the teacher who sees the future in their eyes,
To the pastor who stayed true
And then were brave enough to let them go.
To the fathers who gave dignity, not shame,
To the families who are more than just a fam'ly name.
To the teacher who sees the future in their eyes,
To the pastor who stayed true
to the calling
and the prize;
To the servant in a system
To the servant in a system
that's begun to
seem absurd,
To the singer or the dreamer
To the singer or the dreamer
who is faithful
yet unheard.
Chorus:
I cheer you on!
Did you think that no one noticed?
Chorus:
I cheer you on!
Did you think that no one noticed?
Did you think you
were alone?
To each one who
has made the choice
for right instead
of wrong,
Your Heavenly
Father smiles,
and I, I cheer
you on.
To the one who
stands unwaiv'ring
when temptation
comes to call,
To the one who
has forgiven the greatest hurt of all;
You're a remnant
of the way, He wanted us to be
In a remnant of the
world He wanted us to see.
Chorus:
I cheer you on!
Did you think that no one noticed?
I cheer you on!
Did you think that no one noticed?
Did you think you
were alone?
To each one who
has made the choice
for right instead
of wrong,
Your Heavenly
Father smiles,
and I, I cheer
you on.
(1 key higher)
I cheer you on!
Did you think that no one noticed?
I cheer you on!
Did you think that no one noticed?
Did you think you
were alone?
To each one who
has made the choice
for right instead
of wrong,
Your Heavenly
Father smiles,
and I, I cheer
you on.
Coda:
And I, I cheer
you on.
I cheer you on.
I cheer you on.
I cheer you on!
