She picks the flowers in the morning
|
Tucks just a few in her hair
|
The joy of her mother and father
|
As she spins around unaware
|
|
She carries her song in the evening
|
And the dreams of all little girls
|
She carries the bread to the table
|
She carries the hope of the world
|
|
Ave Maria
|
Ave Maria
|
|
Angels can carry glad tidings
|
Or burdens to bear in the dark
|
Love can take both fear and wonder
|
And hold them inside the same heart
|
|
You carried hope and a promise
|
You carried shame and disgrace
|
Which was the heavier burden
|
That drew lines in a little girlĄ¯s face?
|
|
Ave Maria
|
Gratia plena
|
Maria, gratia plena
|
Maria, gratia plena
|
Ave, ave dominus
|
Dominus tecum
|
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
|
Et benedictus
|
Et benedictus fructus ventris
|
Ventris tuae, Jesus
|
|
Held by the love you were holding
|
Is this what it means to be blessed?
|
To carry your hope through the darkness
|
As it carries you into your rest
|
