Lady In Pink
She fell down
but she's on her way back up
she was kinda wishin' life didn't have to be so tuff
now she understand things happen for a reason
but no matter what it only last for a season
she sits there with blank stares wrapped in pink
streaming tears run the length of her face as she starts to think
whos gonna be there to comb my baby girls hair
who can i trust to make sure my little boy grows up into a man prepared
for the world that's all that's on her mind her little boy and girl
even though she gotta make through months of kemo
back and forth visits with no ending nearby
just knowin what she's feel would make any man with a heart cry
as she rocks back and forth
like she seasick yet she only just got the news
she realized she aint got no time for blues
gotta make preparation this might be the end
then she looks up and relized this is just a season
she'll make it!
She fell down
but she's on her way back up
she was kinda wishin' life didn't have to be so tuff
now she understand things happen for a reason
but no matter what it only last for a season
Now it looks like she might not make it no need to fake it
The way she feels is written on her face and
The kids can hear it in her voice as they listen closely
Mommy says very little but speaks with authority
It’s no fear in the stories she tells them
Mommy is on her way to heaven
Ms. Jenny and Mr.Thomas will be your guardian
It will be a long time b4 I see you again
Never blame God for taking me through the season
Always remember, he did for a reason
Ms. Jenny and Mr. Thomas don’t have kids of their own
They’ll be blessed to welcome you into their home
Be humble they said you can call them mom and dad
And don’t sweat it, you will have more than you had
I love you and God’s calling me for a reason
Always remember life has a final season
