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
