Echoes of the Heart
At night I lie down in my bed
And I asked the Lord why am I not dead
I've been trying to die for years and years
For death is not one of my fears
You're punishing me for what I don't know
But I wish you would give up and just let me go
And the Lord and answered back in the most loving way
I will not let you go for today's not you're day
I've known you since far before birth
And I wish you could see just how much you're worth
You're kind and you're caring and loving and smart
When I look at you I see your big heart
So I smiled and thanked him and realized he's right
And I made a commitment to follow his light
For I know the Lord will not lead me astray
Because it's here on this earth that he wants me to stay
