MC Lars - Nana lyrics
[MC Lars - Nana lyrics]
You used to send me comics
From the Sacramento Bee
The ones we didn’t get and
They’d show up every week
In an envelope I really hope you
Knew it meant a lot
Because I really loved Bloom County
And you never once forgot
Pounding on the keys
Your piano was my friend
You were laid up in the bedroom
I just hoped the pain would end
And your funeral was packed with
Your family and your friends
The only time I saw my grandpa
Cry becausе he could not pretend
It was hard hard to see you go
You hеlped explain it well
How the doctors had done all they
Could to kill those cancer cells
"Like Ninja Turtles in my blood" you said
Every day we’d pray
But just like in the comics
Sometimes Shredder got away
I still think about that prayer
And the small bronze frame
And the things I must accept
And the things that I can change
Passed on your joy on to me
Your talent and your faith
Your demons and your pain
Your beauty and your strength
Koala on the shelf, matilda on my back
Coin up in my pocket
And I’m holding onto that
Because Nana was a traveler
A reader and fighter
And Nana was a hero, a healer and a lifer
Koala on the shelf, matilda on my back
Coin up in my pocket
And I’m holding onto that
Because Nana was mother
A daughter and survivor
And Nana was a hero, a healer and a lifer
I'm doing great these days
Although I miss you Nana
I pay the bills with music
His fall we play Montana
I’ve found my Higher Power
It’s raining diamonds daily
And I'm a daddy now, you sent some magic
Maybe i never got to say goodbye this
Is why I will try
To be the best I can on stage or on the mic
In the classroom on the road
It’s just one day at a time
I’m still working on the steps
But yeah you’re always on my mind Nana
You had the strength of the Technodrome
I won’t forget
You had that the patience of a saint
You’d rarely get upset you left Australia
But I know your heart was back in Sydney
You lost the love of your life
In the war so quickly
So much pain and change
You sharpened your katana back in Victoria
You found your peace now nana
I’ll come and visit soon
Next time I’m back I promise
Matilda on my back
Still waltzing with that sack of comics
Koala on the shelf, matilda on my back
Coin up in my pocket
And I’m holding onto that
Because Nana was a traveler
A reader and fighter
And Nana was a hero, a healer and a lifer
Koala on the shelf, matilda on my back
Coin up in my pocket
And I’m holding onto that
Because Nana was mother
A daughter and survivor
And Nana was a hero, a healer and a lifer
25 words on the wall in the living room
25 words on the wall
25 words on the wall in the living room
25 words on the wall
25 words on the wall in the living room
25 words on the wall
25 words on the wall in the living room
25 words on the wall
