It was that fateful, stormy night,
A crash, a scream, and my dead child.
The wife fought brave, for two more days,
Then all was gone - and I lost faith.
I numbed myself, drowned in despair,
A loaded gun - a final prayer.
Then all went quiet in that motel,
In the silence - there rang a bell.
Calling the hopeless, calling me!
Blind from pain, but wishing to see.
Where is the love that we are seeking?
Is there a reason to believe?
God. are you watching over us?
God have you forgotten who we are?
God I pray to save my soul,
And help me - starting over!
Starting over.
Over.
Just in my teens, I lost my way,
Family, God - all pushed away.
Bottles and needles to the end,
A journey alone without friend.
Medics came, froze, and held my hand,
A firm warm touch, I understand.
Then all went quiet in that motel,
In the silence - there rang a bell.
Calling the hopeless, calling me!
Blinded by pain, but starting to see.
Where is the love that we seek?
Is there a reason to BELIEVE?
God. are you watching over us?
Have you forgotten who we are?
God I pray to save my soul,
And help me - starting over!
Starting over!
Starting over..
Together.
