As tears stream down her face

She slams into the door
Slides down to the floor
She pleads her case
As tears stream down her face
Only nineteen years old
But her life has been so cold
Lost within the chase
As tears stream down her face

She always thought that he was angry
But it was a drunken rage
She couldn't seem to calm him down
No matter what she did
Now she only cries for help
As tears stream down her face

She hides under the bed
As he steps in the house
Slams his bottle on the table
And softly calls to her
So sweet were his words
She crawls out from the bed
But she sees that he's been drinking
And she whispers
"Help me Lord"
She always thought that he was angry
But it was a drunken rage
She couldn't seem to calm him down
No matter what she did
Now she only cries for help
As tears stream down her face

When her friends asked what happened
She said she fell down the stairs
They never understood the truth
Even as the tears stream down her face
How could the Lord have let this happen
How could he be so cruel
She was in the fight
For her life
The Lord never seemed to care
But in her prayers
He was always there

She always thought that he was angry
But it was a drunken rage
She couldn't seem to calm him down
No matter what she did
Now to God she cries for help
As tears stream down her face
