Lyrics
I sat on the edge of my grandmother's bed and I combed her hair While the mother of Jesus looked on from a five-and-dime frame The three of us waited, the light outside faded, the moon came up While Grandmother dreamed up her wings to rise above She said... Love isn't having the things that we want It's wanting the things we have Life is deciding whether we cry or laugh Oh, remember you're part of the moon and the stars A part of those you love, oh, hold on to these things They're your wings to rise above A doctor in Texas wakes up again scared and he don't know why His life is a tangle of suture, money, and blood He says, "I touch without feeling, I fix without healing, I do not cry I can't find the will or the way to rise above Love isn't having the things that we want It's wanting the things we have Life is deciding whether we cry or laugh Oh, remember you're part of the moon and the stars A part of those you love, oh, hold on to these things They're your wings to rise above
