Callie Moore


It's been 25 years and 11 days since
I was last in the womb of a woman celebrating her pain

But in her body she was carrying something else
An unwelcome guest, an intruder in a beautiful house

They say that cancer is a hard and stubborn man
But still he teaches us something that nobody else can

I had a letter that she wrote me but I couldn't read the cursive yet
So Daddy sat me in his lap and he read
And what she said to me I didn't really grasp it yet
And after all these years I finally understand it

Love will never leave this place
No, love will never leave this place

You know, looking back I was a happy child,
I did so much better than to just survive

But I guess I'm singing this song somehow
Because I know somewhere in this world right now...

You're sitting in the emptiest corner of the darkest room
You're fighting some great war you fear you're gonna lose
If I could find you in the moment of your greatest pain
I'd take you by the hand and I would say

Come on and stand up, I wanna see you live
As though there's something beautiful you have to give
'Cause there is... yeah there is

Come on and stand up, let me see you see this through
As though you've got somebody holding on to you
'Cause you do... yeah you do

And love will never leave this place
No, love will never leave this place

Come on and stand up, I wanna see you live
As though there's something beautiful you have to give
'Cause there is... there is

Come on and stand up, let me see you see this through
As though you've got somebody you can hold on to
'Cause you do... you do

And love will never leave this place
No, love will never leave this place

It's been 17 years and a single day
since the child that I was became the child that I still am today
