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)
