parents never took the young girl to church Never spoke of His name Never read her His word Two non-believers walking lost in this world Took their baby with them What a sad little girl
daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs Never wanted to play give kisses and hugs She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch While her mom fell asleep And her daddy went out
And the drinking and the fighting just got every night Behind their couch she'd be hiding Oh what a sad little life And like it always does, the bad just worse every slap and every curse Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night Used a gun on her mom and then took his life
And some people from the city took the girl far away To a new mom a new dad kisses and hugs everyday Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in And a small little Stared at a picture of Him
She said I know that man up there on that cross I don't know His But I know He got off Cause He there in my old house and held me close to His side As I hid there behind our couch The night that my parents died
