Like a gem so rare and colorful
You shine a light on all you see
Polished by a life of loving family
A priceless cut you’re a gem to me
From the farm in North Dakota
To our small town in Minnesota
Across your life you’ve always been
An open door to walk through
An ear to listen someone to talk to
Laugh or cry we’ve had the best of times
Like a gem so rare and colorful
You shine a light on all you see
Polished by a life of loving family
A priceless cut you’re a gem to me
Remember jumping in the sloughs
You had nothing to lose
Adventure was always on your side
You never learned to swim
But had no fear of jumping in
And to this day you show us how to be so brave
Like a gem so rare and colorful
You shine a light on all you see
Polished by a life of loving family
A priceless cut you’re a gem to me
From one small room to a whole high school
It always came so naturally
Teaching abc 1 2 3 and don’t take life too seriously
Well I’m not surprised and I don’t mind that the kids think you’re so cool
Cause there’s really no one quite like you
Like a gem so rare and colorful
You shine a light on all you see
Polished by a life of loving family
A priceless cut you’re a gem to me
As we sail out to the island
On the lake there’s no denying
All this beauty and peacefulness
Is just a mirror reflecting all your “you-ness”
Because of you we know true love and happiness
Like a gem so rare and colorful
You shine a light on all you see
Polished by a life of loving family
A priceless cut you’re a gem to me

Walkabout (Sandy’s Song)

When I was young I wasn’t shy
I took to the stage
I knew how to get by
Out of my own way
I knew how to let go and in that knowing is where I’d stay
Cause my feet know the dance
And the trees know my name
And I walkabout, I’m walking home again.
Cause my feet know the dance
And the trees know my name
And I walkabout, I’m walking home again.
I’ve deadened my longing since I have grown
How can I go back when there’s nowhere to go
It’s always been right here in front of me
In my granddaughter’s dance
Sweeter than I could ever dream
And her feet know the dance
And the trees know her name
And she’ll walkabout, she’s walking home again.
Cause her feet know the dance
And the trees know her name
And she’ll walkabout, she’s walking home again.
When the water gets wavy it’s harder to swim
And then way is a mystery but I’m listening
To that knowing in you and me in we
It’s the greatest gift, yeah that’s love it’s got to be
That knowing in you and me in we
It’s the greatest gift, yeah that’s love well it’s got to be
Cause our feet know the dance
And the trees know our names
And we’ll walkabout, we’re walking home again.
And our feet know the dance
And the trees know our names
And we’ll walkabout, we’re walking home again.
