Everything's gonna be alright
She whispers to herself
She was only 6 years old that night
As she hid behind that shelf
Cause daddy had a little too much to drink
And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt
But she still felt the pain
Well 10 years they came and went
And dad was gone
So she looked for love in other men
And tried to act strong
Oh, broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see
Cause she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something
And as she sat there on her bed
Thinking bout what those girls said
Tears streamed from her eyes
She cried
"If there's a God out there
Please hear my prayer
I'm lost and I'm scared
And I've got nowhere else to go
I've come a long, long way
But I'm not sure I can make it much farther
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
To your daughter."
Well her path started to change
She reached out and grabbed God's grace
And finally, she saw a light
Until that night
Where she decided one drink was alright
And one thing led to another
Next thing you know, 9 months go by
She's a mother
And as she laid there in that bed
Stroking that small angel's head
Tears streamed from her eyes
She cried
"If there's a God out there
Please hear my prayer
I'm lost and I'm scared
And I've got nowhere else to run
I've come a long, long way
But I'm not sure I can be the best mother
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
To your daughter."
Well that baby grew into a boy
Who became her pride and joy
He loved her like no man could
And her heart felt peace, cause she finally understood
God's love
So as she laid there in that bed
99 years old
She grabbed her son's hand and said
"There's something you must know..."
"There is a God up there
Who heard my prayer
I was lost and afraid
And I had nowhere else to go
I had no clue, what to do
And then He sent me you."
So if you're lost and afraid
And you feel so alone
Don't worry child
Cause there's a Father who will love you as His own
Just like he loved his daughter
Like he loved His daughter
