Lyrics
Disappearing from this earth as a legend bright
Leaving behind all the love she gave as light
Going from rags to riches in the night
Grounded by the roots she kept in sight
[verse]
Never being better than another soul
Kind hearted but strong willed she made us whole
Wasn't meant to be a mother on the roll
But many children's hearts she filled with gold
[chorus]
She rose from dust to diamond shining true
She gave her love to all the world she knew
A legend fading but her spirit grew
In every heart she touched the love broke through
[verse]
Never being better than another soul
Kind hearted but strong willed she made us whole
Wasn't meant to be a mother on the roll
But many children's hearts she filled with gold
[chorus]
She rose from dust to diamond shining true
She gave her love to all the world she knew
A legend fading but her spirit grew
In every heart she touched the love broke through
