Stay Behind and Teach

I had paddles on my chest
I saw the light in the clouds
Visions of past family
They were talking to me out loud

Every day since she left
My life can't be the same
Not a woman left on earth
Like the one with my last name

Mama I'm not gonna make it to you this time around
I'm sorry I won't get to see you
Gotta stay and make you proud
It's not my time to go, it was your time to leave
All the lessons that you taught me
I've gotta stay behind and teach

Could've been with you in heaven
Gods not ready for me yet
At least I have my memories
Now I know what He expects
Doctors said I was good to go
My work on earths not done
But everyday that I'm still here, I sure miss you so

Mama I'm not gonna make it to you this time around
I'm sorry I won't get to see you
Gotta stay and make you proud
It's not my time to go, it was your time to leave
All the lessons that you taught me
I've gotta stay behind and teach

Mama I'm not gonna make it to you this time around
I'm sorry I won't get to see you
Gotta stay and make you proud
It's not my time to go, it was your time to leave
All the lessons that you taught me
I've gotta stay behind and teach

All the lessons that you taught me
I've gotta stay behind and teach
