Your Grace

I missed out on the little things
Grew up too fast with no wings to fly
Praying at night
I'd be as strong as you

There's parts of you in me it all comes back
It's frightening but I'm
Lucky to say that I miss you

Your love is the picture I'm painting
And your colours are the brightest of all

I was always different within
Some days it was sink or swim
Singing like a stranger in the dark
Oh Mama

You made me the woman I am
Wish I could tell you I met a man
And every day he holds me in his arms
Oh Mama

Oh Mama
Oh Mama
I know I'm a little late
But I'll sing for you today

Oh Mama
Oh Mama
I know I'm a little late
But I'll sing your grace

I still got your picture up
Your memory is never lost, it stays
As I wear your face like an ornament
Flash by the decades
Oh I still cry when I hear your name
The message you gave me was priceless

I wish that I could show you I'm living
Living with your heart as a guide

I was always different
