She Carried Me Through

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet in the morning now Where your voice used to be A steady hand that held me up When I could barely breathe You carried every heavy thing And never said a word [Chorus] So I'll hold you in the music Hold you in the light Every prayer you whispered over me Still guides me through the night You were stronger than the storm You were grace I didn't earn And the love you left inside me Is a flame that'll always burn [Verse 2] When I lost him, I was shattered Didn't know which way to turn But you stood beside me, Tonia's mother With a love I didn't have to earn You lost your husband too, Mama But you put your grief aside Held me together, piece by piece You became my whole tide [Chorus] So I'll hold you in the music Hold you in the light Every prayer you whispered over me Still guides me through the night You were stronger than the storm You were grace I didn't earn And the love you left inside me Is a flame that'll always burn [Bridge] January twenty-first you slipped away And Tonia had to let you go But I know you chose the arms of God And Daddy's waiting glow [Verse 3] You fought through every battle, Mama Never once complained Came through the fire and the heartbreak Stood tall through all the pain So I know you didn't give up You were just finally free And the strongest woman I ever knew Left all her strength in me, Tonia Carrying everything you gave to me [Chorus] So I'll hold you in the music Hold you in the light Every prayer you whispered over me Still guides me through the night You were stronger than the storm You were grace I didn't earn And the love you left inside me Is a flame that'll always burn [Outro] Love you, Mama, always will Your Tonia's standing strong and still
