Roey

Roey

Verse 1

She was the oldest one, she learned to stand real tall

Mama needed help, so Roey answered every call

Kept the younger ones in line with a firm but loving hand

She was more than just a sister — she was the one who helped us stand

Chorus

Roey, you were stronger than you knew

Through the storms that kept on coming, your faith just carried you

You were the anchor in the water, the calm inside the rain

Roey, heaven's watching — your life was never in vain

Verse 2

He called her Sugarbabe, she wore it like a ring

Stood beside a complicated man through everything

Raised his boys like they were her own, gave them everything she had

One still holds her like a treasure — even now that Bud Man's gone

Bridge

The darkness came and took what mattered most to her

Not once, not twice, but more than any soul should bear

But she never shook her fist at God, never let her lantern fade

She just kept on teaching, kept on loving, kept on trusting in His grace

Verse 3

Down in Havasu she gathered broken hearts around His Word

Poured herself out like an offering — quiet, faithful, and assured

Till her stepson brought her home again to California's shore

Still the heartbeat of this family — still worth fighting for

Final Chorus

Roey, you were stronger than you knew

Through the storms that kept on coming, your faith just carried you

You were the anchor in the water, the calm inside the rain

Roey, we're still watching — your life points us to His name

Outro

She never waved, she never wavered

Eyes fixed on her Living Hope

Roey — still our anchor

Still teaching us to hold
