Never Again

A little girl stands feeling all alone
Confused about which way to go
Should've never let her Daddy's hand go
Now she stands, crying out for help
Shouting at the top of her lungs, angry with herself
Desperate to get back home
Back to the safety of her Father's arms
She wipes away the tears from her face 
Realizing her huge mistake
Letting go of her Daddy's hand that day
Now she stands, looking all around… for her Daddy in the crowd 
People continue to pass her up
No one stops to render help
She is pushed all around
Trampled to the ground
Holding up her hands, she shouts…
Should've never let my Daddy's hand go 
Now, I don't know which way to go
Shouting out His name
Crying out in pain
Is anyone listening?
Should've never let my Daddy's hand go 
Now, I don't know which way to go
This way or that way
Where my Daddy at?
I need Him now
She falls to the ground
Tears pouring out
Suddenly someone picks her up
She starts to smile
She knows that touch
Familiar hands 
Her Daddy's hands
Hands she will never let go of again
