you're out there somewhere
hidden without me.
victim of someone who seeks
to totally control me.

used as a pawn for someone's
selfishness and greed.
you're a person of interest to me
our hearts will be freed.

hopefully God's angels are flying
all around you.
maybe we'll see each other again
because I'm looking for you.

the truth will be known and that's
without a doubt.
you see that's what the promise's
of God is all about.

many things have happened to us
and they're really awful and sad.
my search will last forever because
I am your dad.

God's plan is in motion and there
are no doubts.
Everything that's been hidden
will eventually be found out.

worried about my little girl
and all the danger she will see.
clouded without directions will
she make it without me.

a twisted world she lives in
and nothing comes free.
will she become a victim trying
to please the powers that be.

she's my little girl chosen from
God's best selection.
will she remember me once she's
free from my protection.

she's fully aware that the world
isn't always as it seems.
she's my beautiful little girl who's
the only star of my dreams.

a knock on the door
nobody answers- yet
curtains in the window
slightly moving
yet nobody's there.

rain clouds falling but
you're not wet-yet
a totally drenched mind
moving slowly
yet nothing can be found.

tension fills the air but
you feel nothing-yet
there's air floating in
your head
yet nobody's there.

souls torn with damnation
no peace found-yet
a heart filled with lots
of pain
yet nothing can be found.

a torn sole which collect
painful rocks all along the
way.

the heels have collected
wedges formed by the
pounding of the stone.

collection of scruffs that's
formed rough art from the
miles of travel each day.

tied to fake comfort to
makes the steps easier
to make.

old and no longer needed
but faith has it grips to say
take one more step today.

there's a damaged heart that
no longer beats.
eyes fill with lots of tears that
suffered defeat.

silence in the room because the
music has stopped playing.
people lips are moving, it's not
clear what they are saying.

a sound mind has wondered so
very far away.
happiness for a promising soul
has suffered much decay.

the warmth of two hands have
quickly gone cold.
the once courage of a lion has
fickle and no longer bold.

waking up in darkness yet He
saw fit to show me the light.
in the middle of the storms He
chose to make things right.

the many days of sorrow and
the unfortunate minutes of pain.
He stepped in and touched my life
so that I'll call on His holy name.

countless blessings He's given to
me with many more to spare.
He didn't have to do it for me but
through love I do know He cares.

my life's a living testimony for reasons
that I do not know.
but He saw fit to guide me through it
all, there's no better friend I know.

labeled dumb because the color of his skin
supposedly made him better then me.
untruthful am I because there's no other way
my stories are expected to be.

unrestricted claims to keep me from taking
the highest roads ahead.
he'd rather see me hanging from the highest
tree until he thought that I was dead.

mental torture given because it seem like the
best and righteous thing for him to do.
by keeping his dirt swept neatly under a rug
there's no way anybody would have a clue.

forcing his will upon me as a way to let me
know that he's the one in control.
when faced with the realities of his sins he'd
rather lie than to save his own soul.

maybe the time would come when he'll stop
using hatred as a formula for a thrill.
maybe he'll see the words "the racist" engraved
on his tombstone while buried upon a hill.
