Glenda

Mama Glenda, with your hardworking ways

A beautiful Southern soul, guiding our days

We’d walk through the fields, so wild and free

Picking the wildflowers, just you and me

We’d sit in the evening and stare at the moon

While the summer breeze whispered a sweet, tender tune

‘Cause God made you strong, He gave you the grace

To carry the tears that fell on your face

Through every dark valley, you held us so tight

Five grown children, you raised up right

Fierce and protective, whenever we call

Mama, you’re always there to catch us when we fall

Down by the bayou beach and every river's bend

You were our mother, our guard, and our friend

With a funny remark, you would lighten the load

Walking beside us on a difficult road

You gave us your all, never taking a rest

With the greatest of love beating deep in your chest

‘Cause God made you strong, He gave you the grace

To carry the tears that fell on your face

Through every dark valley, you held us so tight

Five grown children, you raised up right

Fierce and protective, whenever we call

Mama, you’re always there to catch us when we fall

Mama, I know that your life has been hard

Especially when Daddy died and left your heart scarred

But there is no one stronger, of this I am sure

There is no greater love, so steady and pure

Yes, God made you strong, He gave you the grace

To carry the tears that fell on your face

Through every dark valley, you held us so tight

Five grown children, you raised up right

Fierce and protective, whenever we call

Mama, you’re always there to catch us when we fall

Oh, Glenda, you're always there to catch us when we fall
