Paper Cranes
"There's nothing like a grandmother's love
She's always there to cherish her grandchildren"
Walking down these cold concrete streets Thinking of her prayers beneath the
worn-out sheets
She saw the path I walked before the
storm could break Counting
every promise that I used to make
She kept praying for my soul through the darkest night
Keeping watch until the shadows turned to morning light
Yes she did
(oh yeah)
"But she never gave up on me
She kept praying and kept saying I know he's gonna change one
day"
In and out of walls but she would still appear
No condemnation, just a mother's tear
Writing letters when the world had turned its back on me She
held the keys
that finally set my spirit free
She kept praying for my soul through the darkest night
Keeping watch until the shadows turned to morning light
Yes she did
(oh yeah)
Time moves on, the seasons turn to gold
But the lessons that she gave are what I hold
(what I
hold)
"A change is coming A change is coming
Yes indeed Praise the Lord"
