We took to the highway with a county map in hand
It’s been years in the making and we are executing plans
You read aloud from the Keeper of the Bees
As I try to focus my eyes on the road ahead of me
‘
Cause Indiana is the best place that I’ve seen, though to love it’s been the hardest
The trees are hesitant to turn and the fields are ready for harvest
And I am so much of you that a different purpose will bring us through
The same paths with the same view
And if I had it in me, you know I’d be a good Christian girl
But Mama, Mama my home is this world
We took the woods to see where the author had written her books
And the cabin that she built on Sylvan Lake
You seem to belong here and looking out the window
I think that you deserve such a vision every single day
Mother and daughter lie beneath the same favorite tree
You see a beginning but it’s the perfect end to me
I know that you are heaven bound but there is beauty on this earth
And there are years to live out
We can have it all if you will just give me time
‘Cause Mama, Mama this world is mine
