**Verse 1** In Rolling Prairie, Della was born, Through Kansas fields, where her heart was worn. Concordia’s winds and McCook’s wide sky, She stood so strong as the years passed by. **Pre-Chorus** She was wise, she was true, She built her life, and her love grew too. From the stage to the land, she made her way, In her garden of dreams, she'd stay. **Chorus** Della, oh Della, strong and bright, You built a home with all your might. From Kansas plains to San Diego's shore, Your love and light will last forevermore. **Verse 2** In Wano, she bought ranch land by her side, With Austin near, she took it all in stride. To San Diego on their honeymoon train, Never looked back, through joy and pain. **Pre-Chorus** She was wise, she was true, She built her life, and her love grew too. In a house with a widow’s walk so high, Her garden bloomed beneath the sky. **Chorus** Della, oh Della, strong and bright, You built a home with all your might. From Kansas plains to San Diego's shore, Your love and light will last forevermore. **Bridge** Though Devier stayed for just a while, Lyle’s laughter carried on her smile. She made the choices, she stood so tall, In every letter, she gave her all. **Chorus** Della, oh Della, strong and bright, You built a home with all your might. From Kansas plains to San Diego's shore, Your love and light will last forevermore. **Outro** In 1944, her heart took its rest, But the love she left will always be blessed. Della, your spirit’s in the wind and the sea, Forever shining in your family.
