God, I have a question
Or maybe two or three
I'm a bit confused Lord
Could you please answer me

Sis says that you love me
I'm asking if it's true
She says you're my father
Something I never knew

She says you'll protect me
From the world's evil way
Then why am I beaten
As I am every day

I did as she told me
Invited you inside
Asked you for directions
Asked you to be my guide

Praying for mom and dad
And the other kids too
But the beatings still come
In spite of loving you

Grandpa says keep praying
That you will make things right
But it may not happen
As fast as overnight

But now I'm wondering
Are you hearing my prayer
Am I really so bad
That even you don't care

I do all that I'm told
Striving for perfection
For love from anyone
From any direction

Now you've taken grandpa
I have no one at all
Sis has up and moved out
Please God answer my call
