[ambient instrumental] [Verse 1] I stare out into the night hoping she's doing alright She's out there, lost in the streets, chasin broken dreams walkin to her own beat. [Pre-Chorus] i don't usually ask for a miracle even when things are critical but for her... dear Lord... something... to give her some hope... [Chorus] I don’t ask for much, no diamonds, gold or such, I just want her home or safe where she roams that's all i ask, Lord that's all i ask... ohhh... [Verse 2 – Sung] I miss her laugh, The way she’d dance. I miss her voice, her side-eyed glance I miss her hair, the way it flared, whatever it takes, Lord, I don't care please listen to my prayer [Pre-Chorus – Sung] I don’t beg, I don’t kneel to the sky, But tonight, I will try. If she’s out there in the cold, please, please save her soul. ohhh.... [Chorus – Sung] I don’t ask for much, no diamonds, gold or such, I just want her home or safe where she roams That’s all I ask, Lord, That’s all I ask... [Rap Interlude – Laid-back beat, confessional tone] Clocked in when the moon rose, still workin' when the dawn came, Bleedin' in the grind just to try and make out something of my name. Nine to five? Nah, it’s nine to midnight, Stackin’ up the paper, but I’m losin’ my life. Missed birthdays, first steps, calls I ain’t return, She grew up while I burned out just to earn. Thought I was buildin’ a kingdom, But the throne’s cold if you ain’t in it with 'em. Now I walk through these hallways hollow, Echoes of “Daddy” ringin’ off the drywall. Can’t buy back time with overtime, Wish I gave her more than just working my ass off for dimes... [Bridge – Mournful Scat, soft piano underlayer] [Final Chorus – Sung, softer delivery] I don’t ask for much, no fame, no money or such, just her voice, her laugh, her hugs... I just want her home, or safe where she roams... That’s all I ask, Lord...
