Lord, my life hasn’t been the best
And I know I’m not first in line for heaven
I’ve had an empty heart for so long
I haven’t spoken to you since I was seven.
I’ve never really prayed before
And I doubt I’m doing it right
But last time I saw her, she fought for you
And I don’t want all this to end on a fight
I’m not angry at you for taking her
And I really don’t know why
I don’t know why I don’t hate you
For taking away her life
Instead I have noticed, Lord
How happy she was all those years
How her heart was so warm, she loved so many
How she could brave this world without fear.
She always tried to save me, Lord
And I’m really still not sure about this
But I’m willing to put out the effort
To grant my friend’s last wish.
I don’t think I’ll read the entire bible.
And I’m not sure I’ll even go to church
All I know is that, I know you’re there
And somehow you saved her from sadness and the hurt.
I’m still a little scared of leaving
The dark chamber I’ve been trapped in for so long
And I still don’t know if I can be who she thought I could
I’m not really honest, brave, or strong.
But I feel I’m going to breakdown, Lord
And so I’m knocking at your door
I’m hoping you’ll forgive me
For not putting my faith in you before.
I’ve been confused for so long now
Thinking I’m tougher than the world.
But I’m cracking under so many burdens
And I think she’s saved me, that girl.
So I wanted you to know, Lord
I’m going to try my best.
Maybe someday I’ll feel, as she did
And slowly come out of the darkness.
