She walked through those doors, like a light in the dark A voice full of wisdom, a fire in her heart She carried the future in the words that she spoke An angel on Earth in a world going broke Chalk dust on her hands, fire in her soul She carried the weight, never lost control Lessons in love, in life, in pain She taught us to rise, to stand through the rain She never asked for fortune, never asked for fame But every heart she touched still speaks her name She had a heart of gold, hands that shaped the sky Built up the broken, wiped tears from our eyes A voice like thunder, a love so strong Now the echoes of her kindness still carry on Late nights grading, coffee gone cold Still fighting for dreams, never did what she was told She saw what we were before we could see Believed in the best when no one believed She never asked for fortune, never asked for fame But every heart she touched still speaks her name She had a heart of gold, hands that shaped the sky Built up the broken, wiped tears from our eyes A voice like thunder, a love so strong Now the echoes of her kindness still carry on And though she’s gone, I still hear her say “Stand up tall, don’t be afraid” A guiding light in the coldest night Still burning bright, still burning bright She had a heart of gold, hands that shaped the sky Built up the broken, wiped tears from our eyes A voice like thunder, a love so strong Now the echoes of her kindness still carry on She had a heart of gold Heart of gold
