Grandma Song

(album: Inside Voice - 2018)

My grandmother believed it
That's why I can see it
Despite the strength I know she had
She still prayed to those whose job it was
To take care of us
She still prayed to those whose job it was
To take care of us

To her the mystery was the kind of thing
You could see, if you just believed
In that she could make it true
If she prayed for those she loved, and she did
Prayed for us, yeah she did
Prayed for those the loved

But in this day, that tradition made
Each generation doing the same old thing
Over and over, over and over again
I can't understand, till I think of her
Doing things a young boy can't understand
Like speaking in Yiddish
Seeing my grandma
Walking outside with the right foot first, yeah
Seeing my grandma doing things a young boy can't understand

In this day, that tradition made
Each generation doing the same old thing
Over and over, over and over again
I can't understand, till I think of her
Doing things a young boy can't understand
Like speaking in Yiddish
Seeing my grandma
Walking outside with the right food first, yeah
Seeing my grandma, [?] for the ones she loved
Seeing my grandma doing this a young boy can't understand

My grandmother believed it
That's why I can see it
My grandmother believed it
That's why I can see it
