Текст песни Alta Mesa II - Kurr-Is

Ida used to just get up and get it
Ida used to clean all the dishes in the kitchen
Fed the whole family with spirit
Food, and love I know that we will miss it

Heaven just received an angel
My father told me from this angle
In this world she's a stranger
Who said we will live forever
Until then let's be together
Make memories we could cherish
Hope we don't have to suffer
Every meal is not a last supper
Let's fellowship with our brothers
With our mothers, with our cousins, with our sistas
Pray for the father figures
Strong woman thats by the side holding things down the river
Providing life that was you
Who kept the home true and true
You raised a lotta children in that roof
With great grand kids coming through
It was like 11 but times two
Timeless as the few
Birthday calls on the one two
You kept my spirit feeling new
It's a gift that always grew
A gift that keeps giving
Don't worry now I'm living
While reflecting on your teachings
I'll carry your legacy through stories of Alta Mesa

Let it breathe
I need to breathe
I need to

It's a whole lot I oughta say
Held my tongue cuz I was out of state
I was miles away
Hearing you were getting sicker made me feel astray
Tryna finish up college knowing that I could've stayed
Holding on to your final days
Talking more about your faith
Maybe relived moments that I took for granted
But in this place it feels okay
Security is a blanket full of lies cuz any day you could fade away
Your influence will forever stay
Your spirit will forever stay
You held it down for Alta Mesa
Hands together when we prayed
Lord protect this family
And the house on Nandina
And folks who grew up
Now we call them seniors
This place was built upon a hill for them black folks in the 60's
The home is where my heart is and grandma passed me the key to the city
