From the recording Real Life
Lyrics
The hardest road I've ever walked
Was watching my baby slip away
Found a little blue pill on the floor
Day after day the madness grew
Couldn't trust the lies she'd tell
Watched my daughter disappear
Into someone I didn't know
Oh, my heart has never ached like this
Never felt so lost and alone
We kept praying through the tears
Me and mama, holding on
To our child lost in the darkness
But I still believe there's hope
I still believe there's a God above
There's a light to break this night
When she walked through rehab doors
I thought we'd found our way back home
But hope can be a fragile thing
It shattered in just a few days
Then came that call I'll never forget
"Your daughter's in a coma now"
Sitting by her hospital bed
Wondering if she'd wake up
Oh, my heart has never ached like this
Never felt so lost and alone
We kept praying through the tears
Me and mama, holding on
To our child lost in the darkness
But I still believe there's hope
I still believe there's a God above
There's a light to break this night
Today my girl is walking free
But I remember every tear
And I know some of you are still waiting
Still praying through the fear
Your story isn't over yet
Don't you dare give up the fight
We could all face this tomorrow
This thief that steals our children's souls
So let's show grace to those still fighting
In this battle no one chose
Cause there's always hope remaining
There's a light that never dies
It can shatter any darkness
If we just keep our eyes on the sky
