God's Child

God's Child

I lost myself long ago, now I'm found and now I know
I know deception, I've felt rejection
I know hurt, I know pain
How warm the sun, how cold the rain
I know fun and laughter too
I've even met love a time or two
I've seen the miracle of life before my eyes
I've seen it taken away, I learned good-bye
I've seen an angels love in my children's smiles,
My daughter walks through my dreams though we parted awhile
I've turned to alcohol, I learned to use
I've turned to men, I learned abuse
I have cried til I could cry no more
I have laughed til I fell to the floor
All this time I thought I was there
I now know I had been lost somewhere
Then a day came not long ago
The sun did shine and a rainbow glow
I found what had been missing for so long
I found myself and now I can't go wrong
For I am God's child and now I know
That he carried me when I was lost so long ago
He protected me he made me learn
Today and always, it's to him I turn.
