Militza

I was so young when I first saw your face

My beautiful firstborn, my saving grace

I didn't have the answers, just learning to fly

But I found my courage right there in your eyes

We didn't have a lot, the road was pretty steep

But the promise that I made you was one I'd always keep

Oh, Militza, you're the light in the dark

Patient and loving, a beautiful heart

You always encourage me when I'm feeling low

We grew up together, just watching you grow

Through the hardest of times, we beat all the odds

We made it right here, and we give thanks to God

I remember the struggle, the pennies we'd save

But you were so caring, and you were so brave

When the weight of the world was heavy on my mind

You gave me a reason, so gentle and kind

We didn't have riches that money could buy

But we had a faith that would never run dry

Oh, Militza, you're the light in the dark

Patient and loving, a beautiful heart

You always encourage me when I'm feeling low

We grew up together, just watching you grow

Through the hardest of times, we beat all the odds

We made it right here, and we give thanks to God

I thought I'd be the one to show you the way

But you held my hand and helped me through every day

Heaven looked down and answered my prayer

With you as my daughter, I know God is there

Oh, Militza, you're the light in the dark

Patient and loving, a beautiful heart

You always encourage me when I'm feeling low

We grew up together, just watching you grow

Through the hardest of times, we beat all the odds

We made it right here, and we give thanks to God
