Текст песни Jessica (Demun Jones) с переводом

Third son of six, we ain’t have no health insurance

Deck stacked against except for love and reassurance

Then Jessica was born and something it wasn’t right

I used to cry myself to sleep in bed prayin' at night

She never learned to walk or talk but she could smile

In school they called me to her class to calm her down

And I was never embarrassed, never once ashamed

On the playground I’d come runnin' callin' your name

And I remember right under the tree

Where your wheel chair would sit I’d come and take a knee

And give you big brother kisses when I left

And you responded to my words, you wasn’t deaf

I know your voice was sweet, that I never hear you speak

But your eyes spoke the loudest and they said you loved me

And I love you too, 'til this day I’m unsure

If any of us were ever worthy of you

Heroes come and go, but angels never leave

There has to be a purpose, I can’t help but believe

That you’re runnin' and you’re jumpin' through the leaves

So save your David a spot up in the trees

Heroes come and go, but angels never leave

There’s got to be a purpose, I can’t help but believe

I know you’re runnin' and you’re jumpin' through the leaves

Save your bubba a spot up in the trees

Hot sun bricks, daddies workin' like he’s got a four kids

Eatin' peas from Johns Hopkins

Spoon feedin' Jessica was a lot on my mama

And a group of ladies had to pat on her body daily to keep her joints from

lockin'

I remember her room, light blue

With a table in the middle and a mobile

No one told us what had caused it

As the condition said, Rett syndrome is what they called it

But what is that?

I overheard words mentioned like recessive genes

But I was only nine then and still don’t know what it means

All I wanna know is when can we go climb in the trees

And shoot the B.B. guns, and run and jump in the leaves

Chase you outside, I’ll seek if you hide

I always knew you wanted to, I heard your eyes

I was mad at God, but now I understand the lessons

It was such a gift to us just to be in your presence

Heroes come and go, but angels never leave

There has to be a purpose, I can’t help but believe

That you’re runnin' and you’re jumpin' through the leaves

So save your David a spot up in the trees

Heroes come and go, but angels never leave

There’s got to be a purpose, I can’t help but believe

I know you’re runnin' and you’re jumpin' through the leaves

Save your bubba a spot up in the trees

Heroes come and go, but angels never leave

There has to be a purpose, I can’t help but believe

That you’re runnin' and you’re jumpin' through the leaves

So save your David a spot up in the trees

Heroes come and go, but angels never leave

There has to be a purpose, I can’t help but believe

That you’re runnin' and you’re jumpin' through the leaves

Save your bubba a spot up in the trees

Save your bubba a spot up in the trees
