Lyrics

SHE CARRIES ME WITHIN HER HEART
copyright 2004, Diane Stanton-Rich


Verse 1:
Just like a precious fragrant flower,
There is a life blooming in me.
She is a wondrous miracle--
This tiny baby that will be.

And as I feel her move inside,
I touch my tummy tenderly
I?m overwhelmed with joy and love
For this new life that?s within me

Chorus:
And I think about you, Mom,
How we?ll always be a part of each other
?Cause you carried me within you
Now you carry me within your heart

Verse 2:
My child will open her wide eyes,
And see the world as it should be
She?ll slip her fragile hand in mine,
And look at me so trustingly

I?ll try to show her the right path,
As you, Mom, showed me long ago,
But then I?ll let her walk alone
She must be free if she?s to grow

Bridge:
Oh God, please help me to be
As good a mother as my mother is to me

Chorus:
And I think about you, Mom,
How we?ll always be a part of each other
?Cause you carried me within you
Now you carry me within your heart

Tag:
Now you carry me within your heart
You still carry me within your heart
