BRAID MY HAIR
Written by by Gray/Wilson
As sung by Randy Owen on "One on One" (2008)


1. She could be the first female president
Or be the doctor whose experiment
Finds the cure to what she's in here for;
But right now treatments keep her sick in bed.
That baseball cap never leaves her head
And while she sleeps I sit and dream...
One day I asked her, "What do you wanna do when you grow up?"
I soon found out I wasn't dreaming big enough.

CHORUS: She said, "I'm gonna ride my bike, I'm gonna climb a tree
Gonna fly a kite, score a run in Little League
I'm gonna go to school, make a friend, be able to run again
Take off my mask and just breathe in the air--
But most of all I'm gonna braid my hair."

2. She could question God; Lord, knows I would!
She could just give up; I don't think I could
Be that strong or fight so long.
How can such a little girl have such big faith?
And even through the pain she still prays, saying,
"God will make a way...

CHORUS REPRISE: "For me to ride my bike, for me to climb a tree
I'm gonna fly a kite, and score a run in Little League
I'm gonna go to school, make a friend, be able to run again
And take off my mask and just breathe in the air.
But most of all I'm gonna braid my hair that's down to my waist
Then I'll get it cut so they can make
Locks of love for some little girl who's just like me."

Wonders if she'll ever be
Able to ride her bike, able to climb a tree
Able to fly her kite, and score running little league
Able to go to school, make new friends, be able to run again
Take off her mask and just breathe in the air
And most of all she can braid her hair
She can braid her hair
