C
Her parents never took the young girl to church
Am G
Never spoke of His name, never read her His word
C
Two non-believers walking lost in this world
Am G
Took their baby with them, what a sad little girl
C
Her daddy drank all day and her mommy did drugs
Am G
Never wanted to play, or give kisses and hugs
C
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch
Am G
While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out
Am
F
C
G
And the drinking and the fighting just got worse every night
Am
F
C
G
Behind their couch she'd be hiding, Oh what a sad little life (Music
Interlude)
C
And like it always does, the bad just got worse
Am G
With every slap and every curse
C
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
Am G
Used a gun on her mom and then took his life
Am
F
C
G
And some people from the city took the girl far away
Am

C
G
To a new mom and a new dad, Kisses and hugs every day (Music

C
Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in
Am G
And a small little girl, stared at a picture of Him
C
She said I know that man up there on that cross
Am G
I don't know His name, But I know He got off
Am
F
C
G
Cause He was there in my old house and held me close to his side
Am
F
C
G
As I hid there behind our couch, That night that my parents died
