Rain. Rain. Go Away.....

Father, hear my prayer
I need the perfect words
Words that he will hear
And know they're straight from You
I don't know what to say
I only know it hurts
To see my only friend slowly fade away

Chorus:
So maybe this time
I'll speak the words of life
With Your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear
is tearin' at my words
What am I so afraid of?
'Cause here I go again
Talkin' 'bout the rain
And mullin' over things
that won't live past today
And as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance
to tell him that You love Him

But here I go again
Here I go again

Lord, You love him so
You gave Your only Son
If he will just believe
He will never die
But how then will he know
What he has never heard?
Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life

But here I go again
Here I go, here I go

This might be my last chance
To tell him that You love him
This might be my last chance
To tell him that You love him

You love him, You love him
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid of?
How then will he know
What he has never heard?

I can remember the first time I ever heard this song. Molly came to pick me up from Allens friends house in Houston. I was so excited because I just got a new pipe and Allen gave me a healthy sack of dope to enjoy while I was home for the weekend. Nice, right? On the ride home, Molly put this song on and was quietly singing along. It wasn't till she hit repeat that I started to really listen to the words, by the end of the song I had to keep my head turned towards the window to hide my tears. Heaven Forbid Molly catch me expressing my feelings. She was probably just listening to it because she likes it, it's a good song, but it meant alot more to me. It really made me think, and it seemed appropriate for the situation. Me being the troubled one in the family, I never actually thought of what my actions were probably doing to my family. Selfish. I know better now. I've since then realized the error of my ways.

But what if I hadn't of realized when I did?

What if my selfishness went so far that I did something that was unfixable?

My prayers go out to Whitney and her family.
