Verse 

                   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        
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 
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 
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        
And finally, she saw a light 
N.C. 
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 
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 
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 
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 
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

                     C
