The Heat of the Sun

The heat of the sun She looks in the mirror Don’t recognize her face Use to be so pretty now she looks Like from out of apace She is just eighteen Got in to the wrong crowd She had some dreams Was going to make father proud Her mother died giving her birth in the back seat of a car And she grow so beautiful You swear she’s a movie star She thinks her mother die because she was born And all of her life She never enjoy the heat of the sun She looks at the needle Pick it up and put it down If she don’t stop now Could end up six feet under ground She meets a guy in school And exchange student from Spain He says that he loves her And got her hook on cocaine She tries to fight it But the way out was to long It keep pulling her in The addiction was to strong Since then she’s lost it Her will is being out done And she is living but don’t Feel the heat of the sun Her father loves her But he hurts so badly And if she goes to him He will open his arm gladly She builds up the courage And when out the room She says dad help me She was in rehab that afternoon She’s doing ok now The carving is gone She walks on the lawn and it’s the fist time She feels the heat of the sun Some times we all May lost our way But there is always some one Who wants to help us thru the day? No one is perfect Sometimes may fall down We have to pick our self’s up And feel the heat of the sun
