Once there was this girl, and she grew up in a harsh world.
Her daddy worked and her momma left
She went to school everyday, didn't think she'd be okay
She started creating all these scars, she made herself feel pain.
Every single day, she got pushed down.
And was feeling worthless.
Her life was just another mess.
Her life meant nothing to anyone.

She got down on her knees and prayed
And she asked God for something other than this.
God take the pain away, and grant me another day.
God take the pain away

She grew up more, but still felt insecure.
She still had the scars, she still had to hide away.
She was lonely, she was scared, she was
Still searching for something.
She needed someone else's love.
God fell away and she moved on.
She had the love of another one.
He was sweet he was kind but he wanted her body all the time.
She gave herself up to him, and she grew another one.
She was scared, she was sick.
How could she raise this kid.
Two months go by and that fear faded.
the baby lost its battle.

She got down on her knees and prayed
And she asked God for something other than this.
God take the pain away, and grant me another day.
God take the pain away

The boy didn't care, he laughed and said give me some more.
The girl still loved the lord, but the boy
Was more important.
She was hesitant she was pulled out of school.
The girl was failing her classes
Her wrist looked bored so she got back in the habit.
She saw the scarlet running down her wrist, she watched it drip down her leg.
The pills looked good so she took them all.
Sick for days but had no grace, god was no where in sight.

So She got down on her knees and prayed
And she asked God for something other than this.
God take the pain away, and grant me another day.
God take the pain away

Her best friend came the next day, he made her laugh he gave her breath.
The girl finally went to school. The boy
Used her once again.
How can the same thing happen twice?
The next few months were hard to bare.
The girl fell for her best friend. He was there till the end.
The other boy broke her heart.

She got down on her knees and prayed
And she asked God for something other than this.
God take the pain away, and grant me another day.
God take the pain away

Her best friend gave her reason for hope.
He taught her about the father, the son and the Holy ghost.
He gave her some type of meaning
He got her to get on her knees and pray.
He got her to believe again.
She fell for the Lord and brad was there for her too
She loved them both and now it's happily ever after

All because she got down on her knees and prayed
And she asked God for something other than this.
God take the pain away, and grant me another day.
God take the pain away

She got down on her knees and prayed
And she thanked God for something other than pain
God took the pain away, and granted me another day.
God gave me love.
