Lyrics:
VERSE ONE
Her name was Sarah McCarthy
She was bullied in those high school days
Yeah but all I wrote was “Have a good summer”
Across her face on the yearbook page
Her eyes said “Please somebody talk to me”
In that frozen moment of time
I could’ve made a difference in her life
But I was too caught up in mine
CHORUS
Maybe Idda sat up and listened
Slowed down enough to pay attention
Wish I’d heard what the camera caught
It said a lot
Oh if I could make a picture talk
VERSE TWO
Ten years time Annie and I
On the rim of the Grand Canyon Bluffs
But she was a million miles away
When that stranger took this shot of us
She was holdin’ on for dear life
But on the edge of letting go
Smilin’ but she wasn’t happy
I wish she would’ve said so
CHORUS
Maybe Idda sat up and listened
Slowed down enough to pay attention
Wish I’d heard what the camera caught
It said a lot
Oh if I could make a picture talk
BRIDGE
The times that passed
The good and bad
And all the in betweens
Are speaking now, right out loud
Like they never spoke to me
CHORUS
