Yeah
Yeah

See, her name was Anna
Except for pics I never knew much
A sensitive spot
Nobody wanted to touch

She wasn't spoken of much
Only on occasion
And I've been here on stand by
And I'm still waitin

Life's barely getting started and you're already gone
Baby sis is in pampers and I'm only one

My whole life I done missed ya
I don't even own one picture
But I know I see your face
When I'm looking at my sister

Heard you was intelligent
Somewhat mild-temperament
A great sense of humor
And Gifted on an instrument

Your birthday's on the 3rd day of a New Year
Your eyes brown and wide and it's obvious they're
A gift to Lil sis and it's beautifully clear
She's got the same sense of humor
I pray it'll always be there

And me, I inherited your deep tone your melanin
Played Piano by ear
Now I'm artistically creative

And this is DNA you passed onto me
Your grandchildren
And even great-grandbabies

If you were only here
If only God had saw different
Then you would be around
To see your bloodline
Your lineage

I Find myself wondering whatcha would've become
A classical musician
Or a stay home mom

Either way, it's ok mom whichever the one
Would've still been all love
If none of the above
Yeah

Either way, it's ok mom whichever the one
Would have still have been all love
If none of the above
Yeah

Anna's Blues
Dedicated to my mother, Anna Jean Evans
Who God allowed to grace this world with her presence for 16 years

See, I call this piece Anna's Blues
Because I spent nearly half of my life mourning my mother

How could I mourn someone
I couldn't have possibly known
Right

I was only 1 year old
A toddler
Well, nevertheless that didn't negate
That her absence from my life
Was so deeply felt

Until God spoke to me on one Mother's Day
Saying
I was so focused on what I didn't have
That I was missing out on what I do have
My children

See, they were unable to truly celebrate me  on Mother's Day
Because I had the blues

I was mourning my mother every single Mother's Day

And So
Me mourning my mother's absence
Ended that day

Yeah

Her name was Anna
