I Was Moved
(Vs)
His mama's dyin; "what's cancer mean?"
His question still tugs at me as I sing
Those eyes told me he didn't understand;
that innocence is what got me and,
(Ch)
I was moved
I was moved
Thought; "what's his world coming to?"
"What kind of man will this make,
in his coming heartbreak?"
In his questioning face....
I was moved
(Vs)
Said to me; "I will see her again"
with teary eyes, but reassuring grin
I was caught off guard by his confidence;
sure you'll agree that it just makes sense;
(Ch)
I was moved
I was moved
Thought; "I wanna be that way too"
"What kind of man will he make
of me with his faith?"
with his confident face....
I was moved
(Bridge)
Oh, when the time came, he cried his tears;
face buried in my chest.
When he finally stopped he looked up at me;
said; "mama is at rest"
I could only marvel at his strength,
and it gave me hope in life.
Oh, If it wasn't for my loving son
I'd be lost without my wife
(Ch)
I was moved
I was moved
Thought; "we're both gonna make it through"
"Whatever man that this makes;
together we'll face"
With my child's warm embrace...
I was moved
