Grace
Jeni Carr Lyrics

Mary was a little girl in the summer of 63
Mary was just a young girl starting to enjoy her life in the hot summer of 1963

She had her whole life ahead of her, and she knew what she wanted to be...
Mary was full of aspirations and knew exactly what she wanted to achieve in her life

Well everything happens for a reason so they say,
People often use the phrase 'everything happens for a reason' to explain why certain events occur

Then that year when her daddy died, she almost lost her way...
When Mary's father passed away, she was shattered and struggled to find her bearings

But Mary had Grace, Mary had pride,
Mary had the unique qualities of grace and self-respect ingrained in her personality

She knew who she was down deep inside...
Mary was well aware of her true self, values and character at the core of her being

And she stood tall through it all
Mary remained resilient and faced her challenges with courage and strength

And she found her way...
In spite of all difficulties, Mary was able to navigate her way through life

Many years down the road she'd found the love of her life,
After many years, Mary found her soulmate and embarked on a journey with him

A big wedding and a little girl named 'Grace', it seemed so right...
Mary's marriage and the birth of her daughter Grace felt like the right choices in life

But four years later the walls they built just started to fall apart,
Although Mary's life seemed perfect, things started crumbling four years later

And Mary thought she was all alone to mend her broken heart...
Mary felt like she was alone in fixing her broken heart during tough times

Being a single mom aint always been so bad,
Being a single mother is not always easy, but Mary has learned to cope with the challenges

When things get rough, she looks at all she has...
During difficult times, Mary focuses on the good things in life and remains grateful for them

And she'll stand tall through it all
Mary will continue to face her challenges with courage and resilience

And she'll find a way... Yeah she'll find a way...
No matter how tough things get, Mary will always find a way to overcome them

Mary has Grace, Mary has pride,
Mary embodies the positive traits of grace and self-respect in her character

She knows who she is down deep inside...
Mary has a strong sense of self-identity and values that guide her during challenging times

And she'll stand tall through it all
Mary will always remain firm and undeterred by difficulties

And she'll find a way
Mary will persevere and eventually triumph over all the hurdles she faces

'Cause Mary has Grace.
Mary's inner strength and grace are what help her navigate her way through life's ups and downs
