"From Our Arms to Her Wings"
(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)
( For my Grandaughter Molida Mcgee)
(Verse 1)
She was just eight months, a baby in our arms
The world was uncertain, but we kept her safe from harm
Late night cries turned into lullabies
We promised her love, and we never said goodbye
(Verse 2)
We watched her stumble, then we watched her stand
Every little victory, we held her hand
From tiny steps to chasing her dreams
She grew before our eyes, faster than it seems
(Chorus)
From our arms to her wings, we’ve seen her rise
Through the tears, through the laughter, through long sleepless nights
She tumbled in gymnastics, danced with her heart
Now she cheers with a spirit that sets her apart
From the day we said “yes” to the gift that she brings
We’ve watched her fly… from our arms to her wings
(Verse 3)
Now she’s fourteen, with a fire in her eyes
The same little girl, but reaching for the skies
We still see that baby when she smiles our way
But she’s stronger now with each passing day
(Bridge)
Every ribbon, every stage, every cheer she calls
We’ve been right behind her, through it all
She may never know the weight of our prayers
But she’ll always know that we were there
(Chorus)
From our arms to her wings, we’ve seen her rise
Through the tears, through the laughter, through long sleepless nights
She tumbled in gymnastics, danced with her heart
Now she cheers with a spirit that sets her apart
From the day we said “yes” to the gift that she brings
We’ve watched her fly… from our arms to her wings
(Outro)
She was eight months old when our journey began
Now she’s fourteen, chasing dreams we never planned
A granddaughter, a blessing, our hearts overflow
From our arms to her wings… we’ll never let go.
