I saw you through the window
Your face lit up my heart
What Ernest did for the atom
You came and split me apart
Opened me up to miracles
To love what never before existed
A place at the core of my very soul
Glorious joy on every visit.
I saw you through your birth
Weeping at the glimpse of your face
God’s goodness gifted in tiny girl
It was so right to name you Grace
I remember you a tiny bundle
Snuggled in my upper arms
No way to tell me what you needed
But convincing me with all your charms.
I believe that you can change the world
I know you know you should
You have all potent anger needed
It is righteous and it is good.
I saw you on a playground
With children all around your feet
I saw the smile inside your soul
Where your gladness and Africa meet
I knew that I could let you go
When I saw who you were going to be
Whether I tell you enough or not
You are the great pride inside of me.
I believe that you can change the world
I know you know you should
You have all right anger needed
It is righteous and it is good.
