The Little Girl
Written by - Harley Allen
From - Brand New Me
Her parents never took the young girl to church
Never spoke of His name
Never read her His word
Two non-believers walking lost in this world
Took their baby with them
What a sad little girl

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
Never wanted to play
Or give kisses and hugs
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch
While her mom fell asleep
And her daddy went out

And the drinking and the fighting
Just got worse every night
Behind their couch, she'd be hiding
Oh, what a sad little life

And like it always does, the bad just got worse
With every slap
And every curse
Until her daddy, in a drunk rage one night
Used a gun on her mom
And then took his life

And some people from the city
Took the girl far away
To a new mom and a new dad
Kisses and hugs everyday

The first day of Sunday School, the teacher walked in
And a small, little girl
Stared at a picture of Him
She said I know that man up there on that cross
I don't know His name
But I know He got off

'Cause he was there in my old house
And held me close to His side
As I hid there behind our couch
The night that my parents died
