Alexandra Mancini - Best of Us Lyrics

On her way to the door
She can't speak anymore
He can see it in her eyes
It's no use to hide
With no money or place
He puts his hands to her face
With this gift we've been given
We've got to make a decision

Tears filling her eyes
For her baby inside

She could be beautiful
She could be tough
She could have a heart of gold
She could be the best of us
And she's on her way

Too young to grow up so fast
She needed more than they had
With their arms wide open
They gave her away
As they hand her over
They could hear the family say
Put your trust in us

She will be beautiful
She will be tough
She'll have a heart of gold
She will be the best of us
And she's on her way

I'm here now and what can I say
What will I do
Who will I be
By the grace of God
We'll just wait and see
Reach out your hand, and take hold of mine
We all will need some help from time to time

You are beautiful
You are tough
You have the strength inside of you
Never to give up
Open your heart, and feel the spark ignite
It's your chance to shine
