WHERE HAVE YOU GONE
This world is filled with
so many troubled young people...
and parents struggling to find
the answers for their children's
pain. As a grandmother,
I worry so much for my children
and now I worry also for my grandchildren.
For Heather...
I love you so much...
Where have you gone, my sweet baby girl,
the one with the innocent face?
Where are you hiding, my sweet baby girl,
and how did you get to this place?
Here it's so dark and filled with sorrow,
and you still have so many tomorrows;
You don't belong amidst all these tears,
why all this darkness and why all these fears?
Please come back home, my sweet baby girl,
let me keep you safe once again.
Come out of the darkness, my sweet baby girl,
I’ll protect you from all the world’s sins.
My heart is wide open and filled with love
I’ll help you to learn of your Father above.
I’ll guide you to truth and the ways of light
I promise to help you again find your sight.
So please turn around, my sweet baby girl
let me gaze again on your face.
Hold out your hand, my sweet baby girl,
and I’ll lead you out of this place.
