A Child Like Grace Lyrics - Kind Hearted Woman - Michelle Shocked

A child like grace 

I wish you could've seen her face 

How bright that sunflower shone 

With a child like grace 

Running all around the place 

It should be said, "My, how you've grown" 

She was only three 

When she taught herself to read 

I do not like them, Sam I am 

She taught us how to love 

We learned so much but not enough 

I'm sure that's when we learned to give a damn 

She will grace our lives no more 

She was only four 

She died before she was five 

Now it's a grave mistake 

God in His wisdom makes 

What does he care? He fashioned us from clay 

Now lay me down in a bed of sunflowers 

Overgrown and wild 

I've survived my own child 

See the fields and meadows crying, yeah 

Proud dandelion heads turned gray 

Now the wind in a puff blows you away 

Mary had a baby
