A HUNDRED YEAR OLD
PHOTOGRAPH
STARES OUT FROM
A FRAME
AND IF YOU LOOK
REAL CLOSE YOU'LL SEE
OUR EYES ARE
JUST THE SAME
I NEVER MET THEM
FACE TO FACE
BUT I STILL
KNOW THEM WELL
FROM THE STORIES
MY DEAR GRANDMA
WOULD TELL
ELIJAH WAS A FARMER
HE KNEW HOW TO
MAKE THINGS GROW
FANNY VOWED
SHE'D FOLLOW HIM
WHEREVER
HE WOULD GO
AS THINGS TURNED OUT
THEY NEVER LEFT
THEIR SMALL
KENTUCKY FARM
BUT HE KEPT HER FED
SHE KEPT HIM WARM
THEY'RE MY
GUARDIAN ANGELS
AND I KNOW
THEY CAN SEE
EVERY STEP I TAKE
THEY ARE WATCHING
OVER ME
I MIGHT NOT KNOW
WHERE I'M GOING
BUT I'M SURE
WHERE I COME FROM
THEY'RE MY
GUARDIAN ANGELS
AND I'M THEIR
SPECIAL ONE
SOMETIMES
WHEN I'M TIRED
I FEEL ELIJAH
TAKE MY ARM
HE SAYS KEEP A-GOIN'
HARD WORK NEVER
DID A BODY HARM
AND WHEN I'M
REALLY TROUBLED
AND I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO
THEN HE WHISPERS
JUST DO YOUR BEST
WE'RE AWFUL
PROUD OF YOU
THEY'RE MY
GUARDIAN ANGELS
AND I KNOW
THEY CAN SEE
EVERY STEP I TAKE
THEY ARE WATCHING
OVER ME
I MIGHT NOT KNOW
WHERE I'M GOING
BUT I'M SURE
WHERE I COME FROM
THEY'RE MY
GUARDIAN ANGELS
AND I'M THEIR
SPECIAL ONE
