Lyrics for Lily Scott - Broken Home pt.3

She had more than the five senses She knew more than books could teach And raised everyone she touched just a little bit higher And all around her, there was a natural sense As though she sensed what the stars say, the birds say What the wind and the clouds say A sensual soul and self; that African sense And she raised me like she raised four of her own And I was hurt and scared and shocked When Lily Scott left, suddenly one night And they sent a limousine from heaven To take her to God, if there is one So I knew she had gone And I came from a broken home
