A Life Worth Living - Marc Broussard

To know how to live a life worth living

Take the story of Maimie Ruth

Who together with James Daryl

Four generations just like me and you

No doubt that they would make it

With the love only the world can hold

And despite all of the odds against us

Harder for the world to let her go

Don’t want to let go

Oh the way it rained the day they came for Maimie

With a love so strong that it took a hurricane

To try to wash away the pain of Maimie’s family

As if they could, as if they would

Feel the pain in losing Maimie

Started out in small town Louisiana

Getting married before seventeen

After waiting on her daddy’s promise

Promise turned into a daddy’s dream

The years filled up with blessings

And the family branches grew

Oh Maime yeah Daryl’s love was light come shining through

Oh the way it rained the day they came for Maimie

With a love so strong that it took a hurricane

To try to wash away the pain of Maimie’s family

As if they could, as if they would

Feel the pain in losing Maimie

Old Isaac’s rain was nothing

If you could feel that family’s grief

And if dying’s just like living

It was Maimie who took the lead

To live a life worth living

Oh the way it rained the day they came for Maimie

With a love so strong that it took a hurricane

To try to wash away the pain of Maimie’s family

As if they could, as if they would
