Song for Mama
Song For Mama
She stood at the funeral
Just a girl in the choir
But as she stepped forward
And raised her voice in song.
Everyone sat in awe
At a voice so clear and pure
That even the angels of heaven
Sat enthralled at her feet
And not one dry eye was there
When her song had died away
She sang her song for mama
Who had passed away
For mama had never heard her sing
For she was deaf from birth
But she knew in the great beyond
Mama could hear her song
So she put all the love she had
Into each and every note
And even the heaven's cried
at the beauty of Mama's Song
She stood at the funeral
Just a girl in the choir
But as she stepped forward
And raised her voice in song.
Everyone sat in awe
At a voice so clear and pure
That even the angels of heaven
Sat enthralled at her feet
And not one dry eye was there
When her song had died away
She sang her song for mama
Who had passed away
For mama had never heard her sing
For she was deaf from birth
But she knew in the great beyond
Mama could hear her song
So she put all the love she had
Into each and every note
And even the heaven's cried
at the beauty of Mama's Song
