Violin Girl

Spotted her by the bodega, violin case in hand,

Slingin’ strings for the heavens, part of God’s plan.

Jehovah’s witness smile, sweeter than the summer jam,

Heart skipping beats, a drummer boy in no man’s land.

Violin girl, got me wrapped in your melody,

Hymns from the soul, I’m lost in your remedy.

Notes sharper than Cupid’s aim, it’s her legacy,

Prayin’ for a chance, Lord, let it be destiny.

Lil Mac’s corner store, she playin’ hymns for the block,

Grace in her bow hand, time froze on my clock.

Scriptures in her backpack, faith she never mocks,

I’m just a sinner tryin’ to talk, but my words get locked.

Strings sing stories, each one tugs my core,

Every bow stroke’s a prayer, can’t ask for more.

Jehovah’s angel in a world full of war,

She’s the peace I been searchin’ for, that’s for sure.

She said salvation’s free, I’m payin’ with my stare,

Caught up in her gospel, her violin flair.

Told her my heart’s an orchestra, she could repair,

But she smiled and said, "Boy, faith is where we share."

Violin girl, got me wrapped in your melody,

Hymns from the soul, I’m lost in your remedy.

Notes sharper than Cupid’s aim, it’s her legacy,

Prayin’ for a chance, Lord, let it be destiny.
