From Ashes...To Hope
There's a girl who sits alone in her room at home....
Looking at her wrists trying to find life's bliss....
She thinks back in time..when everything was fine....
She gave him her heart...He tore it apart...
She sat there nice and still..as he took the "wheel"
Her mothers a drunk..her fathers In Jail..
"$3,000 dollars bail!!" They wailed....
She let him hold her close..only to be a joke....
He told her loved her..as he struck her....
She now looks at her wrists..watching the blood drip....
she cries out her eyes, hoping he'll die....
Her mother walks in and doesn't notice a thing, as her hand grabs that bottle of gin..
She stands there, looks at her daughter and grins....
As the memories flow back in...
There's a girl who sits alone, with no where to call "home".....
She thinks back when things where fine...Once upon a time...
He loved her all the time..everything was fine.....
Till that one day he snapped....
Her mother once loved her..till they lost her brother.....
Her father always cared.. always prepared..
Until that job scare..He didn't go anywhere......
He just sat there and stared..till one night he got her alone....
He hurt her everywhere...with out a care....
She looks at her wrist..and cries...
Asking god why she is still a live..
The phone rings, she picks up and a friend sings:
"I will never let you fall, ill stand up with you forever, ill be there for you through it all..Even if saving you sends me to heaven"....
Its the friend who stuck by her side..the one who keeps her alive
Its the friend who has stuck with her when she dealt with him.......
Its the friend who held her close..when ever she was "choked".....
There's a girl who sits in her room...Wondering what she is to do.....
Say goodbye to them.. or let it all just end......
She sits and talks to the that friend......
Cause from ashes comes hope all in the end......
