Artist's Comments

To two friends, one I know and one I don't. To and .

My dear child, you can never know
How much you mean to me
I miss you and I hope you feel the same
I've sent you other letters
But I know they go unread
Could we sit down and sort through all the blame?

I know you think I turned my face
When trouble filled your life
But isn't it the other way around?
I have found a thousand ways
To love and build you up
But still I'm just the God who let you down

Where was I when your sole defense
Was a weak and smothered prayer?
Where was I in that time of need
When you thought I didn't care?
When the evil swept right through you
And you felt like no one knew you
When the deed was done unto you
I was there

Do you love your son and daughter?
Does it hurt each time they fail?
Don't you want to pick them up
Before they fall?
Just multiply that fear
By all the people in the world
Imagine you're the father of them all
Would their suffering be wrong
If it helped them count the cost?
Would you let them face the trials so they know?
Would you have the faith to let the fire
Burn away the dross
And the courage to stand back
And watch them grow?

Where was I when love was lost
And you thought it wasn't fair?
Where was I when sin crept in
And caught you in its snare?
When the evil swept right through you
And you felt like no one knew you
When the deed was done unto you
I was there

I was there through every ache
And episode of savage loss
I was there, I earned the right
When my blood trickled down the cross
Please lift the veil of anger
Long enough for you to see
Nothing touches you my child
Which hasn't first pierced me.

--I was There by Michael and Sally O'Connor

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself.

and you can tell
from the state of my room
that they let me out too soon
and the pills that I ate
came a couple weeks too late

I love you so much girl. And I'm not the only one, despite what you think. :petting:
