I Prayed

When GOD first took my dad away
      I turned my back
     Now I know that might sound controversial
         But you'll see what lead me to take him back
            You see I cried so many nights
               Cause no one understood
               GOD why couldn't you put some sense
                   into those ignorant teenage minds
                   They teased me before his death
                     and talked behind my back when he was gone
                            I was alone 
                             Friendless
                                 Discouraged
                                   I prayed for so many nights
                                   For somebody to make things better 
                                     and I don't know who 
                                       But someone up there 
                                         Turned my life around
                                           It made me realize that he was there all along
                                                                GOD I'm sorry...   
                                                            I should've known
