[Intro]
Oh, the tears fall like rain, but her heart can't complain
A young mother's love, pure as the morning sun
A story of grace, of loss, and love
Bound by the earth, and the heavens above
[Verse 1]
She was just a girl, barely out of her teens
Holdin' her baby, in her arms, tender and clean
First little boy, best of friends
Growing up wild, where the tall trees bend
He loved climbing high, touching the sky
With a chainsaw roar and a gleam in his eye
Smell of wood chips, gasoline scent
He spoke to the trees...............
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, his touch was a song, a song of the land
He was her heart, her joy, her very own
Through every dawn, through every day
He loved his girls, with a love so strong
[Chorus]
And oh, how she loved that boy, her pride and joy
His laughing eyes and his fearless cry
He grew up with the earth. He was heaven’s own
But one day, Jesus called him home
She’s teary-eyed on her knees today
Prayin’ for her boy who’s gone away
His memory, like a sacred song
Oh, how she loved that boy so long
[Verse 2]
He was close to the ground, where the wildflowers grow
Teaching his daughters what he loved most to know
A whisper in the wind, a secret shared
A love so deep, beyond compare
He loved his family, and he loved the land
With calloused hands, he made a stand
Climbed every tree, built dreams tall
But Heaven’s call, it came to call
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, his essence lives in every tree
In every laugh, in their melody
In the scent of gasoline and wood
His love remains, as only a mother could
[Chorus]
And oh, how she loved that boy, her pride and joy
His laughing eyes and his fearless cry
He grew up with the earth. He was heaven’s own
But one day, Jesus called him home
She’s teary-eyed on her knees today
Prayin’ for her boy who’s gone away
His memory, like a sacred song
Oh, how she loved that boy so long
[Bridge]
In her dreams, she hears him say
“Momma, I’ll be waitin’ on that bright new day”
With love that forever will remain
A gentle reminder of her pain
[Outro]
So she prays beneath the sky so wide
Feel the love she holds inside
A mother’s love that’s forever strong
Remembering her boy, in her heart where he belongs.................... Where he belongs...........
