Love Cried (feat. Rebecca Zapen)

music & lyrics by Amy E Rodriguez performed by Amy Rodriguez & Kimberly Kerr TRUE STORY, written for cousin Garrett! Look at that face, behind that brilliant smile Baby Garrett’s had a fight for his life Those first few images inside his mother’s womb Shook the faith beyond our sight The doctors hung their heads, said the damage is done Baby Garrett’s gonna break our hearts Right from the first light that entered those blue eyes He had hope beyond the dark Fear said “Lets end this before it begins” Love said “Choose life and believe” Fear said “He won’t last half through the night” Love said “There’s brighter days to be” and whispered [chorus] Rest, little man, sleep, darling girl Embrace now this life, cast out doubt in your world Straight on ahead, big bright steps forward Godspeed unto you we wish in accord God’s Hand upon you, your greatest reward In and out of turns, Garrett starts to grow Through surgery and seizure But now the doctors say he’ll crawl until he’s five If not for more procedures Fear said “Accept the cost, forget any odds” Love said “There’s got to be a way” “What if we risk it all and still he’s just the same” Love said “Take that chance and don’t delay” [chorus] ...WALK, little man, RUN, darling girl... [bridge] He’s gonna win your heart, he’s gonna prove them wrong He fought for his life, he’ll fight for his walk Here he goes now, he’s gonna do it Look at that hope in that brilliant smile Is he walkin? Oh he’s walkin! Yeah he’s walkin!! What a miracle, oh what a miracle Oh baby, baby, baby, a miracle, la la la... [chorus] ©2007 Amy E Sewell
