Run Away

My eleven year old daughter is gone.
God help me! My life is all askew.
She's out there all alone
Facing the unknown.
Someone, anyone, give me a clue.
My eleven year old daughter is gone
Out on her own.
What has she gotten herself in to?
She's out there all alone.
My mind is being blown.
Are you waking to night dew?
My eleven year old daughter is gone.
Pick up the phone!
I don't care who.
She's out there all alone 
Not even full grown.
I'm out looking for you.
My eleven year old daughter is gone.
She's out there all alone.
