(Toby Keith/Wayne Perry)

Had this dream forever
And it's comin' true at last
Now lookin' back, the hard times
Were just lessons from the past
I finally climbed the highest mountain
Now I'm standing tall
There were sacrifices made
But now the price is paid
To you I owe it all

You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I am who I am
You've always been my guiding light
Leading the way through love and life
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I'm who I am

I know I never told you
How much I depend on you
But at my weakest moment
You were strong and pulled me through
You've been standing in the shadows
You're still trying to
But to watch you step aside
Let me take this ride
Is something I can't do

You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I am who I am
You've always been my guiding light
Leading the way through love and life
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I'm who I am

You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I am who I am
You've always been my guiding light
Leading the way through love and life
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I'm who I am
