His Daughter

G Everything's gonna be alright D She whispers to herself Am She was only 6 years old that night C As she hid behind that shelf G Cuz daddy had a little too much to drink D Am And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt C But she still felt the pain G Well 10 years they came and went D And dad was gone Am So she looked for love in other men C And tried to act strong. G D Oh broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see Am C (Once) Cuz she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something G And as she sat there on her bed D thinkin bout what those girls said Am tears streamed down her eyes C (Once. Pause) She cried G If there's a God out there D Please hear my prayer. Am I'm lost and I'm scared C G and I've got no where else to go D I've come a long, long way Am C (Once. Pause.) But I'm not sure I can make it much farther ... G D So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand G Am C To your daughter. G Well her path started to change D She reached out and grabbed God's grace Am C (Once) And finally, she saw a light (No chord) Until that night where G She decided one drink was alright D and one thing led to another Am Well next thing you know, 9 months go by C she's a mother. G And as she laid there in that bed D Stroking that small angel's head Am Tears streamed down her eyes C (Once. Pause) She cried G If there's a God out there D Please here my prayer. Am I'm lost and I'm scared C G and I've got no where else to run D I've come a long, long way Am C (Once. Pause) But I'm not sure I can be the best mother G D So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand G Am C To your daughter. G D Well that baby grew into a boy Am C Who became her pride and joy G He loved her like no man could D Am (Once. Pause) And her heart felt peace, cuz she finally understood C God's love. G And as she laid there in that bed D 99 years old Am She grabbed her son's hand and said C (Once. Pause) There's something you must know... G There is a God up there D Who heard my prayer Am I was lost and afraid C G And I had no where else to go. D Am I had know clue, what to do C (Once. Pause) And then He sent me you. G So if you're lost and afraid D and you feel so alone Am don't worry child C (Once) cuz there's a Father who will love you as His own G Am C Just like he loved his daughter. G Am C Like he loved His daughter. (End on G)
