Now she’s hanging six feet from the ground

Although she screams, the noose is tight

She doesn’t make a sound



Two dozen sleeping pills are coursing through her veins

And all she needed was a friend to see her through the rain



My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?



The years have grown so restless

Though memories are fond

My friends all feigned their sympathy

Though all they wanted was more than these…



And joy, like a pearl, did not attend my needs!

My lord, my God, my father, why have you abandoned me?



As the dear longs for running streams, so I long, so I long, so I long for thee…



And who will give me wings?

That I may fly away!

If God has mercy, hear my cry

I am weary let me die…



My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?



But oh my child, you cannot leave

Some day distant, I’ll bring you to me

But as for now, you have to stay

Awaken from the noose and pray



There are other children still in pain

Who need your guidance through the rain

Those without fathers, those without lives

Those who are surely destined to die



Those who are weary and put to the test

Those with no family, no smile, and no rest

Those with the needle still in the vein

Those who are raped, beaten and maimed



Some will grow violent, others grow tame

Some will grow stronger, but most will grow shame

I’m sending you to them, as shepherd to fold

To love them, and cradle them in your hold
