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
