• Hiding in the shadows fearing the light
    hearing the voices calling her to fight.
    Dont run away this is where you stay
    The streets of poverty and despair
    girl look at what you wear.
    50 bucks here 20 bucks there
    Drugs in your system
    How did this begin?


    A hand extends to help her repent
    His bright light shining
    Could she begin again?
    She starts her life over
    on him she depends.


    Watching, waiting
    Seeing everything but the things she most wanted to see.
    Life continued in her wake
    Recieving the gifts he bestows upon her with grace yet
    still remains bereft for the things she longs for the most.
    Filled with an aching inner turmoil
    showing no signs outside herself
    she lived her life


    Fearing she would lose
    what she never had before
    she screamed his name into the darkness
    within which she had fled.
    Please find me again!


    Praying to see her light again
    his face
    she knew this sadness and pain would linger
    till he welcomed her into his arms once more


    Timidly stepping within his warm embrace
    fearing a trick, a trial, a fake face
    he bestows upon her the gift of forgiveness
    and she swears to betray him no more
    The darkness is gone forever more


    Her heart falters weakly with every step she takes
    towards his light and she now knows that losing him
    would damage her irrevocably
    mind heart and soul
