HOLD ON

The girl waits patiently

listening for her troubles to come knocking,

knowing it will come.

Mommy’s livin’ in her own little world

too busy to take the time to get to know her daughter

She loves her but other things come first

Daddy is gone, living with his new family.

Don’t come to visit you, don’t know if he truly cares.

He called the other night, said “I love you”

Mommy doesn’t know, if she did then all hell would break loose.

She prays and hopes

for her life to pick up speed.

Wants to make her own decisions.

Not a child, not yet a teen.

Can’t wait to grow up.

To escape

Just hold up, hold on.

You can make it.

Wait for a while, you will come around.

You can’t just wish to be older.

‘Cause while your wishin’,

your life will pass you by.

You can’t live it over.

You have only one chance

so enjoy it while you can.

The boy sits in his room.

Tears silently streaking down his face.

A knife in his hand

slashing his arms to ribbons.

Unanswered questions running through his head

while wishing he was dead.

Why don’t they hear his prayer for help?

Mommy leashes out stress.

Daddy’s in California now.

So many questions

Will someone answer them?

Doesn’t anybody care?

He prays and hopes

for his life to pick up speed.

Want’s to feel in control of his life.

Not a child, not yet a teen.

Can’t wait to grow up.

To escape

Just hold up, hold on.

You can make it.

Wait for awhile, you will come around.

You can’t just wish your problems away.

‘Cause while your wishin’,

your life will pass you by.

You can’t live it over.

You have only one chance

so enjoy it while you can.

God will give you strength.

He will make things come round right.

You just have to pray,

lift your voice to the sky

and thank God for all his creations,

that includes you.

You are a miracle, a blessing sent from heaven above.

He loves you unconditionally.

He will wrap you in his arms

and protect you from all harm.

If you allow him to . . .

He is your Father.
