A slender twenty four year old

Walked herself across a road

Under weeping trees

Twenty years her memory

As she held her father's hand

And the family sang Amazing Grace

In the pouring rain

Before her feet a stone with words

A gift for those she parted

And in every cut of stone

She found where she had started

And she knew more who she was

From the where that she had come

And the things that bind us

Carry on while I'm gone away

Carry on with a smile on your face

I'm as big as you keep in your heart

And there I'll stay. I'll remain

As you in me. There I'll be

She ran her hand across the stone

And heard her mother's laughter

And promised to tell each one

The story of their grandma

And the things that had been been taken

Made a vow to give her own

Be the tie unbroken

Carry on while I'm gone away

Carry on with a smile on your face

I'm as big as you keep in your heart

And there I'll stay. I'll remain

As you in me. There I'll be
