CLOSE WINDOW


STANDING ON MY OWN

As Momma tells me
From the day she brought me home
My big sister thought I was her own
She taught me how to climb
And she taught me how to swing
She took the time to teach me differently

(Chorus)

She has taught me things
I would never know
She gave me courage
To stand out here on my own
She’s my rock
She’s my friend
She’s my hero
Till this world ends

When we were three and four
I started at her school
That’s the day she realized
Kids can be so cruel
From the first time
She laid eyes upon my cane
She had to realize
That I was not the same
Not the same, Not the same

(Chorus)
See Momma never told her
That her baby couldn’t see
She wanted everyone to treat me equally
Sissy thank you for giving me
My dignity!

Chorus

She’s my rock
She’s my friend
She’s my hero
Till this world ends
