[Verse] mom sat on her front porch watching her daughter play 4 years old playing on the lawn she doesn't know what to say [Chorus] parents it happens so quickly you won't see it till it's too late one second they're there playing next, they're now in God's fate [Verse 2] protect your children parents don't turn your backs on them not even for one second you'll regret it from now on [Chorus] [Verse 3] she only left her for a minute to go inside to go get something she's now trying to make sense of it fears are starting to realize she's missing [Chorus] [Verse 4] police are now here helping to find her she gave them the most current picture they've got volunteeres helping to cover the phone lines ringing one after another [Chorus] [Verse 5] tips came into the police phone lines about an older male in a white 4 door car it'd been seen cruising several times near where the girl was, not too far [Chorus] [Verse 6] the police never found the car they have yet to find the girl it's been hardest on mom by far she blames herself with guilt [Chorus] [Verse 7] she prayed her daughter would be found day after day she prayed and prayed sadly, she got her wish behind a dumpster on the ground her little girl, so brutally cold in death [Chorus] [Outro] a senseless death of a young child now passion, blame, and guilt survive the couple split up after this reviled act of violence and sadness had derived death is easier to overcome than guilt the guilt of a missing child is heart felt numbness soothes for short bursts mom has lost all feeling now of self worth - -- guilt has overrun... guilt has become.. a void like none.. the realization of what was done. the fact that it can't be undone. for now now she cries wishing that it could.
