A Child Like Grace
Michelle Shocked

A child like Grace
I wish you could of seen her face
How bright that sunflower shone!
With a child like Grace running all around this place
It should be said, my, how you've grown...

She was only three when she taught herself to read
I do not like them, Sam I Am
She taught us how to love
We learned so much but not enough
I'm sure that's when we learned to give a damn

She will grace our lives no more
She was only four
She died before she was five
Now it's a grave mistake
God in his wisdom makes
What does he care?
He fashioned us from clay

Lay me down in a bed of sunflowers
Overgrown and wild
I've survived my own child
See the fields and meadows crying, yeah
Proud dandelion heads turned grey
Now the wind in a puff blows you away.

Mary had a baby, yeah
Mary had a baby, yeah
Mary had a baby, yeah
Mary had a baby, yeah
