I Cried to You

There is a great deal of depression
that has overtaken the land
my soul hurts from long ago,

I lost my way;
then disaster came caused great pain
out was out of control
over what is right all I did was wrong

Just another Sad, sad song  
the rain started pour down on me
night and day
flooding deep within me,

I was too young to understand
the ways of Lust and Sin
my body craved sinful men
darkness became a game of child play,

My life was never right
in my mother's eyes
No matter how hard I ever try
She would beat me down
and call me names,

The black seed is what she gave  
I was only two when I started
crying out to you
you touched my little heart,

easy my pains from the start
You even given me food to eat
I would get down on my knees asking you
Please forgive me,

take this pain away my Mother given me
she cut me down so far down
I was so lost I never thought I would
ever be found,

I would cry and cry deep into the night
asking why my mother didn't want me
She doesn't love me
why did my father leave me?

Without a word of goodbyes
I just seen shame in his eyes
Their ware no words of what was right
in my poor little life

all I have known was everything of the dark
and it made it it's home
given me all its wrongs with no hope
With no Love to show

My life had no loved in it
I almost died in my teens
And my mother didn't even come to see me  
But you did that day

My God you had spoken right too my heart
Saying you love me from the start
When My Mother and father left me
You came in and started taking the lead

I had never let you go
this I put down in my book of long ago
for all to know you are mine
with many of my kind,

This world is so blind
they cannot see what love means
I need you to stand up for what is true
that would be my love for You.
