I wish words could make your hurt go away
I wish I felt like a better friend
What can I do...more than nod and hold you as you cry?
You're right...I tried to imagine your pain...
but I can't...and I dont want to taste it.

At a loss...I hold you close to the Father...
It's all I can do.
It feels wrong to smile...to tell you it's okay.
I cant do that...
If I understood...If I knew your pain...would that help?
If I had magic words...would you hear them?

silence tears the heart in two

I would walk the silence with you if I could...
I long to hold your hand as if you were my child,
to wipe your tears away...
to tell you stories..make you smile again...
to heal the broken heart of a child.
I cant do these things.
I want to...but I cant.

God hold this little girl in your arms tonight...
heal her...make her feel alright...
She's lonely, broken with tears...
Shelter her...calm the fears

because i cant
