Lyrics

[INTRO]
In a room filled with love, we gather today,
To honor a life that touched hearts in every way,
Marica Farac, your spirit shines bright,
In our memories forever, you are our light.

[VERSE 1]
Born in Blato, to the warmth of the sun,
A girl with a heart, as gentle as one,
Youngest of three, sister and friend,
With joy in your laughter, your love knows no end.
From the hills of Yugoslavia, to a new land so free,
In the arms of your husband, you found your destiny.

[CHORUS]
Oh Marica, you showed us the way,
With kindness and laughter, you brightened our day,
In every moment, in each loving glance,
You teach us to love in this beautiful dance.

[VERSE 2]
In '56, you said, "I do," to Franko so dear,
Together you built a life full of cheer,
With John in your arms, you embraced every stride,
In Broken Hill's quiet, your love was your guide.
Frances and Dany joined, and little Franki too,
A family so cherished, in all that you’d do.

[CHORUS]
Oh Marica, you showed us the way,
With kindness and laughter, you brightened our day,
In every moment, in each loving glance,
You teach us to love in this beautiful dance.

[BRIDGE]
Fifteen years, side by side,
At Royal Perth, where love was your pride,
Through the trials and joys, you always stood tall,
An anchor of hope, for each one of us all.

[CHORUS]
Oh Marica, you showed us the way,
With kindness and laughter, you brightened our day,
In every moment, in each loving glance,
You teach us to love in this beautiful dance.

[OUTRO]
So here we gather, our hearts intertwined,
With stories and memories, your love we will find,
Though you’ve left this world, your spirit remains,
In the laughter of children, through sunshine and rain.
Oh Marica, you live on, in all that we do,
Forever in our hearts, we’ll carry you through.
