The Letter
She had a ring of gold and a three-year-old
And a house with a wooden fence
The doctors tried and her family cried
'Cause it didn't make no sense
But somewhere deep inside
She knew God knew better
So in the middle of the night
Dim night light, she started her letter
It said, "Don't give up right before the miracle
Don't let this world turn you cold and cynical
Take these words, write 'em on your heart
Let your light shine through the dark
And when you think you've had enough
Keep looking up
Keep looking up"
Well she got the note that her mama wrote
On the day she turned 11
On the envelope she read the words
"To my little girl from heaven"
She couldn't remember the smell of her skin
Oh, but on that night, it was like she was holding her again
When she read, "Don't give up right before the miracle
Don't let this world turn you cold and cynical
Take these words, write 'em on your heart
Let your light shine through the dark
And when you think you've had enough
Keep looking up
Keep looking up"
Find a man who will hold your hand
And love you for you
And for heaven's sake, you'll make mistakes
But whatever you do
Don't give up right before the miracle
Don't let this world turn you cold and cynical
Take these words, write 'em on your heart
Let your light shine through the dark
And when you think you've had enough
And you need me to pour down my love
Keep looking up
Keep looking up
Keep looking up
And a house with a wooden fence
The doctors tried and her family cried
'Cause it didn't make no sense
But somewhere deep inside
She knew God knew better
So in the middle of the night
Dim night light, she started her letter
It said, "Don't give up right before the miracle
Don't let this world turn you cold and cynical
Take these words, write 'em on your heart
Let your light shine through the dark
And when you think you've had enough
Keep looking up
Keep looking up"
Well she got the note that her mama wrote
On the day she turned 11
On the envelope she read the words
"To my little girl from heaven"
She couldn't remember the smell of her skin
Oh, but on that night, it was like she was holding her again
When she read, "Don't give up right before the miracle
Don't let this world turn you cold and cynical
Take these words, write 'em on your heart
Let your light shine through the dark
And when you think you've had enough
Keep looking up
Keep looking up"
Find a man who will hold your hand
And love you for you
And for heaven's sake, you'll make mistakes
But whatever you do
Don't give up right before the miracle
Don't let this world turn you cold and cynical
Take these words, write 'em on your heart
Let your light shine through the dark
And when you think you've had enough
And you need me to pour down my love
Keep looking up
Keep looking up
Keep looking up
