Oh God My Child Is Crying

Oh God My Child Is Crying

Oh God, my child is crying

and I'm not sure what to do

I feel alone and scared

can I take a walk with you.

Oh God my child is crying

the tears roll down her face

I know that you can help me

take her to a better place.

Oh God my child is crying

I am not sure what to say

can you help me break the silence

can you take the pain away.

Oh God my child is crying

her tears just break my heart

can you make her smile for me again

can we make a fresh start.

Oh God my child is crying

it's hurting me inside

oh please I want to help her

don't let her run and hide.

Oh God my child is crying

like i've done my whole life

was i ever really a child

before a mother or a wife?

Oh God my child is crying

she has turned out just like me

my heart is drowning in all the tears

Oh God how can this be?

Blinded By Confussion

Blinded By Confusion

I feel that you are near me

but then you just don't seem to hear me.

I can see an illusion

but it's all mixed up and confusing

you just don't understand

the things i do are not planned.

I have questions, on my mind

that need answers, i can't find.

I don't need you for my health

I don't want you for your wealth.

I just want you to see

that all I want, is to be me.

I don't want you to cry

but i feel, I want to die.

and before I should go

and off in my own way.

There is something I want to say

and something you should know

I only feel the way I feel

because I love you so

and you can't see it's real.
