THERE IS A STORY

There is a story

Still not told

About a man on the street corner

Waiting for your change

So you can put him out of your mind

He wasn’t there today

There is a story

Still not told

Of a child with a lot to prove

Out to do things they weren’t meant to do

Now their name is only mentioned in prayer

There is a story

Still not told

Of a forgotten soul

They pass you by with out a word hello

Will you see them again today?

There is a story

Still not told

Of truth that provokes anger

A story of love, from above

They just want to hear the story of selfish love

Who did you use today?

There is a story

Still not told

About a heavy heart

Alone in the dark wanting out

Can you tell what that is about?

WOULD GOD

Could I say a prayer for you tonight?

If I said your name 

Would GOD know whom I was talking about?

Haven’t seen or heard from you in a week

Have you’ve forgotten me

Have you’ve even stop to think of me

Could I say a prayer for you tonight?

If I never see you again in this life

Would GOD make every thing all right?

I’ve been around when you’ve been down

Now I’m down, but you’re not around

Is my loneliness an inconvenient to you?

Could I say a prayer for me tonight?

Even if this friendship ends

Would GOD ever explain what love and friendship is?

Have you ever been friends with the one you love?

But the one you love is not your friend

It’s worse than just being in love

Could I say prayer for us tonight?

That you will remember me as I think of you

Would GOD take this pain, every time I hear your name?
