lyrics

Mrs. Montgomery, since she was a young girl she’s written poetry
About what she thought of life and loved about Baton Rouge.
She thought she’d change the world like Mia Angelou.

Still she smiles, even on the days that hurt.
She is kind, even when it’s not returned.
She is wise enough now to know how the world can change.
You don’t have to be great, just be good every day.

Mrs. Montgomery makes angels sin with envy when she sings.
She hoped to be discovered – be a marquee name
And maybe change the world like Etta James.

Still she smiles, even on the days that hurt.
She is kind, even when it’s not returned.
She is wise enough now to know how the world can change.
You don’t have to be great, just be good every day.

A smile to a stranger, kindness to a neighbor.
Mrs. Montgomery’s got it right.
She is every day light.

Because she smiles, even on the days that hurt.
She is kind, even when it’s not returned.
She is wise enough now to know how the world can change.
You don’t have to be great, just be good every day.
