Every day I try,
But life is so hard;
They say there will be light,
But I only feel dark.
Where were you God? Where did you go?
Why did you let evil rip out my soul?
How is this possible? How can it be?
Someone stole the cord,
That you gave to me.
So here I am,
My body a shell;
For without my child,
Earth has been hell.
Yes I’m thankful, I’m loyal, I’m blessed,
I cherish the loved ones that I have left;
But she cannot be replaced, the child I grieve; Oh Lord please come back, for it is you that I need;
Help me through this,
Please give me strength;
Your footprints engrained,
In this path made for me.
I can’t do this alone,
I feel so weak;
God hear my prayers,
And bring my baby to me.
Don’t leave me here broken,
Please show me the light;
Rid this darkness I feel,
And this pain inside.
