John Schlitt - The Grafting lyrics

She's too young to be a mother But sometimes life is cruel and makes a life decide another Scared but sees beyond the moment She gives her boy away and prays someday he'll know her Love goes on and on When he finds that life comes in the grafting They built their hope upon the future Married young, they bought a house, a car, a crib to suit her But years would pa** without a baby Until a miracle, a desperate girl reached out And love went on and on And they found that life came in the grafting (chorus) This life is a golden opportunity To give and to love through all uncertainty Just like the Father reaches down to us And through His Son He grafts us to Himself This is love The parents did their best to raise him They trusted God to build the roots the boy so greatly needed But time had come for him to face her The things he longed to say and dreamed for years could wait no longer He slowly walked up to her door and rang the bell The door came open wide She stood there and cried He said "mother, don't be cryin' I know you've wondered now if you were wrong for never trying For everything you did, I thank you I have the life you always dreamed for me because Your love went on and on I found my life was in the grafting." (repeat chorus) In the grafting Love comes in the grafting Love comes in the grafting
