Lyrics
She Taught Her Children © 2009 Phil Bearce
She was always there when we needed her most
The five of us are all now grown
Despite sibling jealousy we're all real close
Prepared us for the unknown
Raised five on her own without much support
Taught us how to run in the races
She kept us safe and showered her love
The provision of her graces
We all stayed on the path - no extremes
We never really raised any hell
Learned by example and fed off her dreams
And she taught her children well, lord
She taught her children well
She danced with a sailor one night on the base
He tended the bar there some nights
They dated and wed and crafted a family
And all-out fought the good fight
Time marches forward and comes to pass
Don't you ever ask them why?
We make a world that they can live in
And watch our children grow by
We all stay on the path - no extremes
We never really raised any hell
Learned by example
And fed on her dreams
And she taught her children well, lord
She taught her children well
