Lyrics

Like Carrie

Carrie?s 12 years old and barely hanging on
Laying in that bed she can hardly move
Mom & Dad close by sitting by her side
And on the other side she?s got her bible too
Carrie prays for momma hoping she?ll be fine
?Lord lift them up wipe their eyes when they cry?
And Carrie prays for Daddy hoping he?ll be strong
?Lord lift them up give them strength when I?m gone?

I wish that I could be a little more like Carrie
Cause Carries?s hearts so big she aint just a kid
We all need to be a little more like Carrie
Cause she don?t think of self even in bad health

Now Carrie?s on that list so she can have a wish
Carrie?s thinking hard about what to choose
I know if that was me I wish for many things
Money, Cars, and the life that I never knew
But Carrie?s wish is for people that she?s always seen
Who have no home; have no money, and no food to eat
Oh Carrie?s wish is for the struggle that they have to live
She hopes always that they?d know Jesus and all the love he gives

I wish that I could be a little more like Carrie
Cause Carries?s hearts so big she aint just a kid
We all need to be a little more like Carrie
Cause she don?t think of self even in bad health
That?s Carrie?

Carrie died on a Monday peaceful in her sleep
Now Carrie?s with the Angels and she will always be.

I wish that I could be a little more like Carrie
Cause Carries?s hearts so big she aint just a kid
We all need to be a little more like Carrie
Cause she don?t think of self even in bad health

Repeat Chorus then fade.
