God help me now
help me see
as I lay dying at your feet
my teeth ache
I have been up
praying all night
oh how badly I wish you could see

what you've put me through.

seven years of anguish
seven years of pain
oh lord, my god
I am wandering now and
wondering
am I so deserving?

of what you've put me through?

I can feel her hands
searching for a meal
to fill her belly full
and my very being
is served like a spit
to this woman, who claims
she is an angel.
I think i might be deserving

of what you've put me through?

all I see, a little girl
who's wondering all the same
her knees are sore from many things
she has kneeled to this woman
and now she is kneeling to you
"Oh Lord, my God, I beg of you
help me now and ill pray to prove
I don't deserve this.
I am her treat, her gift, her love
but I pray to my god above  
to prove I don't deserve this.
oh god my lord I will commence
my prayer and ill leave my pence
to prove I don't deserve this."

and now I sit
across from you
I've died from this abuse
I wonder hard, could I have saved
that little girl
from all of that
misuse?
