Mavis

Looking in the mirror, taking my time

Tracing the story that's written in my mind

I poured my heart out, gave all I could give

Now I'm learning how Mavis really wants to live

I'm searching for the sunshine, clearing the gray

Trying to find a little happiness today

It's a brand new chapter, a different kind of groove

Learning how to make my own spirit move

Oh, I'm learning to love the woman I see

Bringing the happiness right back to me

Holding the memories, my children, my pride

Keeping this beautiful feeling alive

I gave all my years every piece that I had

Now Mavis is making her own heart glad

I look at my children and see how they've grown

The sweetest kind of love that I've ever known

Every laugh, every tear, every step of the way

Built the foundation I stand on today

I cherish the days and the life we made sweet

But the journey I'm on isn't fully complete

Now I need a fire that burns just for me

A quiet kind of joy that sets my soul free

Oh, I'm learning to love the woman I see

Bringing the happiness right back to me

Holding the memories, my children, my pride

Keeping this beautiful feeling alive

I gave all my years every piece that I had

Now Mavis is making her own heart glad

It wasn't always easy to put myself first

To water the garden and tend to the thirst

But I am deserving of peace and of grace

Putting a genuine smile on my face

Yeah, I'm holding myself so close tonight

Stepping out of the shadows and into the light

'Cause I'm learning to love the woman I see

Bringing the happiness right back to me

Holding the memories, my children, my pride

Keeping this beautiful feeling alive

I gave all my years every piece that I had

Now Mavis is making her own heart glad

Yeah, Mavis is finally making her own heart glad
