STILL WATERS (© John MacLean 2004) They named that child Grace Frances Last born shy little girl Surrounded by words she mostly watched And kept to her own quiet world Alone on a pond, cold moonlit nights Was one place her voice rang out clear Her silvery skates glistening on ice Was the only sound you could hear  Chorus We rush though our days never seeing Those who their own counsel best keep Just remember while rivers at times rush and roar Still waters are what run most deep Childhood dreams get faded And for some that's the end of the road Grace Frances turned to the future And took on her real life's load You might think she chose the wrong line of work So full of loud classrooms and all But she loved to hear children cry out their joy And they loved to heed her soft call  Chorus Quiet, firm, and determined Do not every man's interest keep Bur beneath all that fearsome beauty Lies a beauty much more than skin deep She married later than most do And the girls get their voices from John But when those tow are sad at night It's her voice they depend upon  Chorus You can spend half your lifetime looking For the one who will bring your heart peace Just remember while rivers at time rush and roar Still Waters are what run most deep Song List Home
