Still Standing, Angel Mama

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some hearts carry more than they should Through storms that no one understands When the weight of this world closes in Still she reaches for heaven's hands She wipes her eyes and finds her smile A strength that only faith provides [Chorus] Angel Mama, you're still standing tall Through every tear and every fall You asked the Lord why it hurts this way But you still rise to face the day Your love's a fire that won't burn out Angel Mama, that's what grace is about [Verse 2] Jimmy rode into the wind one day And Mother's Day won't feel the same You raised young Eric like your own Twenty-five years of love you gave And Michael's out there lost somewhere But your prayers still call his name [Chorus] Angel Mama, you're still standing tall Through every tear and every fall You asked the Lord why it hurts this way But you still rise to face the day Your love's a fire that won't burn out Angel Mama, that's what grace is about [Bridge] Seventy years I've watched you fight My Barbasita, my shining light You laugh through pain most couldn't bear And that's how I know God's right there [Verse 3] You cried to me and asked me why One heart should hold this much goodbye But every scar just proves you stayed A mother's love that never swayed You're my hero, my dearest friend I'll walk beside you till the end [Chorus] Angel Mama, you're still standing tall Through every tear and every fall You asked the Lord why it hurts this way But you still rise to face the day Your love's a fire that won't burn out Angel Mama, that's what grace is about [Outro] So smile for me, my Barbasita Heaven knows your heart by name
