Flowers While You’re Here”

Verse 1

Grandma Cat, you got a heart so deep

Carry everybody else, forget to sleep

You love hard, never asking why

Still giving pieces even when life wasn’t kind

You stand so strong, but I see the pain

Every loss, every tear you prayed away

Still you smile, still you pour love out

Even when your world was falling down

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I’ve watched you bend but never break

Still choose love after every ache

You been through storms that could drown the sea

But you stayed standing… for us, for me

⸻

Chorus

So I’m giving you your flowers while you’re here

Every “thank you,” every tear

For the nights you cried alone

And the strength you never shown

You’re my living miracle

My answered prayer

I just need you to know I see you

I’m giving you your flowers while you’re here

⸻

Verse 2

August came and changed your world

Lost your baby boy, your heart still curled

Then another son you had to lay to rest

Still you showed up, still gave your best

Then my mama, twenty-fifteen

You held me up when I couldn’t breathe

Then your mama, then your sister too

Still loving us like you always do

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Cancer tried to take your shine

But God had a different design

Even in your weakest days

You still found a way to pray

⸻

Chorus

So I’m giving you your flowers while you’re here

Every “thank you,” every tear

For the nights you cried alone

And the strength you never shown

You’re my living miracle

My answered prayer

I just need you to know I see you

I’m giving you your flowers while you’re here

⸻

Bridge (Spoken / Sung – very R&B)

I’m your second oldest

But I’ve always been your baby

I learned what strength looks like

Just watching how you raised me

If love had a face, it’d look like you

If grace had a name, it’d sound like “Grandma Cat”

And if I’m half the woman you are one day

I know I’ll be alright

⸻

Break (Soft vocals)

You still shine…

Even when the nights are dark

You still shine…

You’re the light in all our hearts

⸻

Final Chorus (Big Emotion)

So take these flowers while you’re here

Let ‘em fall year after year

For every loss you survived

For every reason we’re alive

You’re my legacy in motion

My answered prayer

I love you deeper than these words can say

I’m giving you your flowers

While you’re here

⸻

Outro (Fade)

Grandma Cat…

I love you while you’re here.
