You’re in her gracious smile
you’re in her fiery eyes
your in the way she turns her head to keep from laughing
your power is in, her steady hand
and I know you will not forsake me

You’re in the way she dreams, in her loyalty
you’re in the way she will not stand for an injustice
She can’t fake who she is, & her honesty says
You will not forsake me

I know you will not forsake me x 2

you’re in the tears she cried
you’re in her sleepless nights
in the way she sets our little boy to laughing
in her , yes even then (still)
you will not forsake

chorus

when I couldn’t find you in the darkness
when my doubts had made you disappear
into her arms I lay my sadness
somehow (that’s when) I found you there
oh you will not forsake me x 2

it’s in the tears she has cried
for the ones we have lost
it’s in the way she sets our little boy to laughing
it’s in the lines on her face, after years of
