World Without Strangers

(Verse 1)

You chased your dreams, I chased mine too

Little did we know, yours would shine right through

A full ride scholarship, my heart swelled with pride

But little did I know, you were hiding inside

(Chorus)

The weight of the world, on your shoulders alone

Mom's secrets kept, my heart turned to stone

But still you rose, through the dark of the night

And shined so bright, my guiding light

(Verse 2)

Depression crept in, like a thief in the night

Stealing your joy, my world wasn't right

Bronchitis took hold, my heart almost broke

But I came back to you, my love unspoke

(Chorus)

The weight of the world, on your shoulders alone

Mom's secrets kept, my heart turned to stone

But still you rose, through the dark of the night

And shined so bright, my guiding light

(Bridge)

Now we're moving on, from that darkest night

You're married with a child, my heart's alight

A beautiful granddaughter, my love for you grew

Through every up and down, my love for you shines true.
