The kitchen table is quiet now
But your warmth is still in the air
You always kept an open door
for everyone
With a quiet faith that moved the tallest hills
A gentle word for those who walked in shadow
And a healing hand for every heart that grieved
Oh, grandmother, your wisdom was our guide
Your loving heart, a map we hold inside
Now rest your patient hands,
your work is done
Safe in the kingdom of the rising sun I
still can hear you praying
in the evening
A whispered grace for everyone you knew
You lived a life of kindness,
never ceasing
And every path I walk leads back to you
Oh, grandmother, your wisdom was our guide
Your loving heart, a map we hold inside
Now rest your patient hands,
your work is done
Safe in the kingdom
of the rising sun
Safe in the kingdom now
We'll hold your love (hummmm)
