Five years lost
Abused so badly used and now he counts the cost
Still he stays
if she could only drop the bottle - things might change
Day by day further he falls
The pain goes o - on It cuts so deep
the dark within his heart grows worse
He's not that str - ong - in fact, he's weak
Light eludes his sight the more she hurts
When's enough of such bro ken (pretend) - when?
Three years young
Cancer came and drained her life - lullabies un-sung
Mama's cold
Asking why a God who's good would mercy withhold
Day by further she falls
The pain goes o - on It cuts so deep
the dark within her heart grows worse
She's not that str -- ong she feels so weak
drying to the cries the more it hurts
Will this aching ever end - when?
At for-ty eight
I'm running to escape the chains of pain-filled yesterdays
but seasons End - one day soon He'll heal the wounds
and make us whole again
Love will hold us still until then - when it's finally -
when
