~Sometimes miracles come in packages, sent from music.~

Annabell comes home in tears

Saying people were teasing her about her size

Calling her a cry baby every time she cries


Her mama and papa tell her 

There's something special about every package


She still can't find the light in herself

Can't find her way out of the darkness

Finally, tired of the same games

She picks up a guitar and starts to play


Now she's about to graduate

Feeling more overwhelmed than ever

Like her world is falling apart bit by bit


Her mama and papa tell her 

There's something special about every package


She runs home broken in pieces 

Her parents finally ask: "Annabell what's going on with you?"

Suddenly, she breaks, falling to pieces, spilling every secret


Her mama and papa tell her 

There's something special about every package


Though she doesn't listen 

And runs into her room

Finding her closet 

She pulls out her ole guitar from when she was young

And starts to play

And this is the story of how Annabell became Annabell today...


And as the years went by

Annabell took that guitar every where

Like it was her baby girl


And as Annabell grew up more

She taught her own daughter how to play guitar


But of course as time grew on, Annabell grew old

And eventually it was her time to go

As God called her to heaven

Lemme tell ya she brought that guitar with her


So, if one day you look up towards the sky

And hear the sound of a guitar and a choir of angels singing

You'll know that's Annabell playing for God

Hoping one day that this world will see

 The only miracle it needs in life 

Is a gift of a guitar
