She's willing to climb a ladder Up to the highest star That's her with a stack of blankets In her arms She's taking them to a family Sleeping in their automobile She hears the children crying And she wants to love for real She knows how suffering feels We all know how suffering feels And you know you're alive When you taste your own blood Open hands to the sky With your face in the mud We all know how suffering feels Her mom said goodbye last winter Sometimes she cries in the dark She's holding her new Baby granddaughter Close to her heart Her spirit was wounded by Sacred vows broken Beginning to heal Her oncologist gave her good news Now she's living to love for real Oh, she knows Oh, everyone knows We laugh, we cry We get high, we get low Oh, don't ya know?
