I wrote this for my daughter. She has'nt spoke to me since she was 14. She is now 23

My head is in a place that I just don’t like
It’s lost and alone and it doesn’t feel right
From time to time I cry out loud and fall on bended knee
Searching for a little something to put my soul at ease

Lately I can’t stand myself no matter what I do
It seems my life is empty but I know it isn’t true
I want to be there for you, this I do pray
To be there as your friend I guess is what I want to say

I’ve done all I can I think of just to let you know
That you’re the special someone I really want to know
Please God help her, and tell her how I feel
Tell her I love her and I want to make it real

Give her some direction to help her through the strife
Let her know she’s special and that she must live HER life
But also speak of me I pray cuz you know I really care
This thing that we’re going through, my heart is in despair

Let her know I love her no matter what she’s heard before
That I think about her, to not would be obscure
You’re on my mind a lot these days I just hope you know
My love for you was never lost just hidden by the haze

That’s all I want in life right now is just to set and talk
Maybe if you wanted we might even take a walk
No matter what we do or say I just got to speak my peace
This short journey we’re on called life is really just a lease!
