🎵 “The One I Couldn’t Save” By Sheryl Clyde / Thunderbird [Verse 1] I didn’t know, I didn’t plan— Just a child in a stranger’s hands. No arms to hold, no voice to say, “I want to keep the life today.” They gave me pills, they called me wild, They drugged the truth right out a child. They never asked what I believed— They only planned what they’d achieve. [Chorus] I tried to fight, but they tied me down, Angels wept without a sound. Heaven screamed but they wouldn’t hear— My baby’s heartbeat disappeared. I wasn’t cruel. I wasn’t free. I was just a girl they refused to see. But I still love the one I lost… The one I couldn’t save, no matter the cost. [Verse 2] They wore fake smiles, they masked the pain— The needle pierced, then came the flame. My soul went searching past the dark, While demons laughed and left their mark. I whispered, “Jesus, take my hand…” But they had other plans. [Bridge / Outro] I didn’t die, though they all hoped— Jesus pulled me off that rope. They lost the war when I awoke— He saved the mother hell tried to choke.
