Why?

Why? Dear Lord What if I told you today That I wasn’t sure what to do With this life you gave me And asked if I could turn it in for a new one? Would you be disappointed with me Like my mother was the day I told her What my father was doing to me Would you call me a liar Even if I was telling the truth Only because what I was saying Threatened your peaceful life? I know you weren’t there The day he threw me out of the house It was dark and cold I felt so alone I couldn’t hear your voice Where were you Lord I want you to smile at me like a father Tell me I am your child And you think I am perfect just as I am Could you make me pure and clean I feel so dirty all the time You could give me a new name too I don’t want to be the dirty name he called me When he told me he never wanted to see me again As if I would ever go back to his house Well Lord maybe I’ll keep this life one more day See what we can do with it you and me Thank you for listening and have a good day
