Holding Our Light
When the sky turns gray and the rain starts to fall
And you feel like you are backed right up against the wall
There is a door down the hall
where the light is always on
Where the shadows disappear
and the heavy weight is gone
She can look at a crowd and see the one who is
in pain
She is a shelter from the storm when you are caught in
the rain With a patient kind of grace that can quiet the
noise At
Red Jacket High, she stands strong for the girls and the boys
Oh,
she is the calm
in the chaos, the hand you can hold With a heart made
of
shelter and pure country gold Yeah,
she will pull you right through when you are losing your stride
With the power of kindness
right
there by your side Through the hardest of days,
she
will be cheering you on Mrs.
Tosto is the light that keeps guiding us
home She has got kids of her own,
so she knows what it takes To help us navigate through our
heavy heartaches And the things that we shared in our class everyday
All the talks that we had helped us find our own way
From the front of the room to the rows in the back
She would listen to everyone,
keeping
us on track
Never asking for praise,
never turning away She just gives you the strength to get through
one more day It is a beautiful gift,
the encouragement she shares
To look at the world
and let them
know someone cares When
the road gets too rocky and you are ready to fall Her
belief is the bridge that gets you over it all
Oh, she is the calm in the chaos,
the hand you can hold
With a heart made of shelter and pure country gold Yeah,
she will pull you right through when you are losing your stride
With the power of kindness right there by your side Through the
hardest of days, she will be cheering you on Mrs.
Tosto is the light that keeps guiding us home Yeah,
she is guiding us home
Through the halls of Red Jacket,
we are never alone Remember the jokes and the stories we would
pass We will never forget the times in your class Thank you,
Mrs. Tosto Oh,
thank you for everything
