A Life Worth Living

(앨범: A Life Worth Living - 2014)

To know how to live a life worth living
Take the story of Maimie Ruth
Who together with James Daryl
Four generations just like me and you
No doubt that they would make it
With the love only the world can hold
And despite all of the odds against us
Harder for the world to let her go
Don't want to let go

Oh the way it rained the day they came for Maimie
With a love so strong that it took a hurricane
To try to wash away the pain of Maimie's family
As if they could, as if they would
Feel the pain in losing Maimie

Started out in small town Louisiana
Getting married before seventeen
After waiting on her daddy's promise
Promise turned into a daddy's dream
The years filled up with blessings
And the family branches grew
Oh Maime yeah Daryl's love was light come shining through

Oh the way it rained the day they came for Maimie
With a love so strong that it took a hurricane
To try to wash away the pain of Maimie's family
As if they could, as if they would
Feel the pain in losing Maimie

Old Isaac's rain was nothing
If you could feel that family's grief
And if dying's just like living
It was Maimie who took the lead
To live a life worth living

Oh the way it rained the day they came for Maimie
With a love so strong that it took a hurricane
To try to wash away the pain of Maimie's family
As if they could, as if they would
