"What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." James 4:14
She is a precious little Child
Two pig tails and a toothless smile
A world of possibilities
Imagination running wild
It is the worst day of the year
Her Mother gives her an embrace
With eyes welled up in tears
She says "Daddy's gone to a better place"
PRE-CHORUS: Lying in bed with tears in her eyes
Afraid of the dark so she turns to the light
CHORUS: Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Now she's just turned sweet sixteen
Reading fashion magazines
Her innocence is gone
And she's on the party scene
Hangin' out on Friday night
"Can I b** another light?"
Everything just feels so right
Until her friend commits suicide
(PRE-CHORUS) / (CHORUS) / She was an ordinary girl / With a pocket full of dreams / Now she's in an empty life / And nothing's as it seems / The only one that brings her joy / Is her husband of thirty years / Until he has a stroke and dies / Now her joy has disappeared / (PRE-CHORUS) / (CHORUS) / Now she's in a nursing home / No one visits any more / Her whole life is behind her / And nothing is before / The only companion left / Is her television set / She hears the pastor's voice on Sunday / Then breathes her last breath / Lying in bed / With tears in her eyes / Afraid of the dark / So she moves towards the light / (CHORUS) / Do you hear? / Hear His voice? / Calling you to the light / Can you hear? / Hear His voice? / Calling you to the light.
