The Heart That Holds Generations

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some lights don't fade with passing years They shine through every storm and tears A kitchen warm, a table set A kind of love you don't forget You gave our children all your heart And gave me mine right from the start [Chorus] Oh Wahneeta, you're my guiding star You hold this family where we are Through every storm, you lead the way I love you more with every day Your arms are home, your heart is wide Forever, I'll be by your side [Verse 2] This year the ground fell out from me My strength was gone, I couldn't see You stayed beside me night and day Your stubborn will would not give way You held my hand and pulled me through There's no one else as strong as you [Chorus] Oh Wahneeta, you're my guiding star You hold this family where we are Through every storm, you lead the way I love you more with every day Your arms are home, your heart is wide Forever, I'll be by your side [Bridge] Then came a baby, small and new Eight weeks too soon, she needed you So tiny in that hospital light You prayed her through the longest night [Verse 3] Now Grandma rocks her in her chair Same lullabies, same gentle care You love her like you loved our own Your heart has always been our home You love the whole wide world, it seems But you're the center of my dreams [Chorus] Oh Wahneeta, you're my guiding star You hold this family where we are Our kids, our girl, our yesterday I love you more with every day Your arms are home, your heart is wide Forever, I'll be by your side [Outro] Wahneeta, love, you light our way I love you more with every day
