C Am C
Her parents never took the young girl to church,
Am C Am G
Never spoke of His name, never read her His Word.
C Am G
Two nonbelievers walking lost in this world.
C Am G
Took there baby with them, what a sad little girl.
C Am G
Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
Am C Am G
Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs
C Am C
She'd watch the TV and sit there on that couch,
Am C Am G
While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out.
Am F
And the drinking, and the fighting,
C G
Just got worse every night
Am F
Behind their couch, she'd be hiding,
C G
Oh what a sad little life
G G G F E D E F E D E F E D C D C G A C
C Am C
And like it always does, the bad just got worse,
Am C Am G
With every slap, and every curse
C Am C
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night,
Am C Am G
Used a gun on her mom, and then took his life.
Am F
Then some people, from the city,
C G
Took the girl far away
Am F
To a new mom, and a new dad
C G
Kisses and hugs every day.

C Am C
Her first day of Sunday school, the teacher walked in,
Am C Am G
And a small little girl, staring at a picture of him.
C Am C
She said I know that man, up there on that cross,
Am C Am G
Oh, I don't know his name, but I know he got off.
Am F
Cause he was there in my old house,
C G
And held me close to his side.
Am F
As I hid there behind our couch.
C G
The night that my parents died.
