Somethin' Special(Cover)

We were born under desert skies Roswell wind and starlight nights Fifty-seven, eight, nine, sixty-one Four small voices, already one Packed it up in seventy-one South Highway Fifty-Nine Illinois River, acres wide Arkansas raised us side by side Chorus And we were somethin’ special then Still somethin’ special now Through all the years and all the bends We never lost the how Sunrise photos, Wordle at six Grandkids growing fast Time keeps moving, love sticks around Somethin’ special lasts Verse 2 Devin led us, serious mind Science sparks and curious time Chemistry sets, experiments Quiet strength, where the road first went Mikey’s heart was soft and true Kindest soul you ever knew Numbers neat, books in line Mama right there by his side Verse 3 Marisa shined, the beauty queen Strong and steady, lean and clean Used to shake the game board up Now she’s grace and helping hands Faith like roots beneath her feet Lifts up others, gentle, deep Verse 4 And I’m Kimmie, the youngest one Learning life as it would come Quick to laugh, slow to see All the things love asked of me Took my time, but here I stand Knowing heart, and knowing hand Chorus Yeah, we were somethin’ special then Kids with harmony and hope Singin’ songs from eight to twelve Somethin’ Special was the name we chose And here we are, still singin’ low In messages and threads Four voices, one long song That never really ends Bridge Daddy saw the world in lines and ink Birds in trees, the way they think “Never kill a spider,” he’d say Spider whisperer anyway Wrote his truth for all to read Said people ain’t no damn good—but He loved us fiercely, that was clear Taught us why the wild is dear Mama fought like iron will Worked and worked, kept moving still Breast cancer knocked, she stood back up Tough as nails, strong as love Ninety years and never done March took her, but not her sun Soft Chorus We’re on the side that leans toward care Toward fairness, truth, and light Learned it at the kitchen table Under stars and porch-light nights If you ask us who we are We’ll smile and say it plain— Four kids, one story Same refrain Final Chorus / Outro Yeah, we were somethin’ special then Still somethin’ special now Through loss and love and everything We kept the vow Six a.m., the Wordle’s sent A sunrise fills the phone Different lives, same family Same love, same home (softly) Somethin’ special… Always have been.
