Granny my Mom

[Verse 1]
Some hearts are planted deep like an old oak tree
Branches reaching out for all the world to see
Through every season, every bitter storm
You kept the whole house safe and kept it warm
I'd peel potatoes standing at your side
Then watched and smelled the sweet rolls as they rised

[Chorus]
Oh Granny, you're the root and soul
The love that makes this family whole
You don't know how much life you give
You're the reason that we live
Strong and gentle, shining through
Every heart here beats for you

[Verse 2]
Folks would see us walking, you and me
And swear that we were sisters, plain to see
You taught me how to stand on my own
And be patient with the seeds I've sown
Thank you for my beauty, inside and out
You showed me what real love is all about

[Chorus]
Oh Granny, you're the root and soul
The love that makes this family whole
You don't know how much life you give
You're the reason that we live
Strong and gentle, shining through
Every heart here beats for you

[Bridge]
You've weathered more than your share of pain
Since Daddy's gone, you rose again
Now the laughter of the young
Keeps a sweet song on your tongue

[Verse 3]
Now you're home with Poman and Judy too
Three growing men bring the sunshine through
You still say, "It's time for you to cut my hair"
And I smile, 'cause I will always be there
Poman Judy Johnny Monica Ken and all of the grandchildren are here in this song
Singing for the one who made us strong

[Chorus]
Oh Granny, you're the root and soul
The love that makes this family whole
Though the years keep rolling by
You give us life, you lift us high
Strong and gentle, shining through
Every heart here beats for you

[Outro]
Your kitchen's quiet now, it's true
But every taste of home is you
We love you, Mama, through and through
