about

For Gloria, in a nursing home, and all of us waiting.

lyrics

Gloria
In a nursing home
She was born in June of 1922
From a Catholic home
In the south of Texas
To some memory care just far enough away

Where she sits by the door
For her loved one to come
And she can’t think of anything else
But it’s been three long days
And she’s hardly had a thing to eat
But she’s waiting for a visitor to come

Gloria
In the dining room
Hears “Amazing Grace” and grabs the singer’s hand
Knows her favorite saints
And all her favorite music
So she’ll stay a while then wander down the hall

Chorus

Gloria . . .
Gloria . . .

Gloria
In my troubled heart
With her oil in hand she consecrates the sick

Chorus
