For You Songtext
von Ruthie Foster

(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
Yeah, ooh

We′ve all got a story, don't all get to tell it
We′ve all got a sermon, don't all get a pulpit
We've all got a song, don′t all get to sing it
That′s why, I'm singing this one for you

We′re changing the world, even when no one noticed
And I think it's time we gave you your roses
That′s why I love you because you don't do it for the applause
Baby, this one′s for you

We don't all leave our mark in a Hollywood sidewalk
But you're in my heart doing the things you do
I′d write your name in the sky, shining it lights and I
Oh, this one′s for you


'Cause you′re that somebody who always shows up
You're that somebody who never gives up
You tried, and you′re true, and you're made of the real stuff, yeah
Oh, this one′s for you

We don't all leave our mark, oh, in a Hollywood sidewalk
You're in my heart, just doing the things you do (doing the things you do)
I′d write your name in the sky (shine), shining it lights and I
I′m singing this one for you

For living your truth
Oh, for the battles we fought and the lessons we taught
The love you carry through

We don't all leave our mark, in a Hollywood sidewalk
But you′re in my heart doing the things you do (doing the things you do)
I'd write your name in the sky (shine), shine it lights and I
I know this one′s for you

We've all got a story, don′t all get to tell it
We've all got a sermon, don't all get a pulpit
We′ve all got a song, don′t all get to sing it
I know this one's for you, for you
Oh, I′m singing this one, for you
