Sylvia

Sylvia She grew up young What’s done was done She didn’t have a choice Her mom was strong The days were long Her restaurant was her voice Seattle called Her mom their mom A diner was their home And Sylvia took after mom She loved them like her own Sometimes life can be so hard Starting over from so far Quiet voice and tender heart You’re my hero yes you are Asian eyes saw everything Foreign family moving in Dreams were made Through sweat and blood An anthem they could sing From rich to poor, a different world Where less is more for little girls Her great reward was working for A city who adored them Sometimes life can be so hard Starting over from so far Quiet voice and tender heart You’re my hero yes you are Sky and city full of stars They keep shining where you are Quiet voice and tender heart You’re my hero yes you are Everybody needs somebody A place that you call home Legacies and hard earned dreams Can keep a family going, going Sometimes life can be so hard Starting over from so far Quiet voice and tender heart You’re my hero yes you are Sky and city full of stars They keep shining where you are Quiet voice and tender heart You’re my hero yes you are Seattle called Her mom their mom A diner was their home And Sylvia took after mom She loved them like her own
