*She Said*

She said that time is unfair
To a woman her age
Now that wisdom has come
Everything else fades
She said she realizes
She's seen her better days
She said she can't look back to her days of youth
What she thought were lies
She later found was truth
She said her daddy had dreams
But he drank them away
And her mother's to blame
For the way she is today
Life's river shall rise...........she said
And only the strong shall survive..........she said
But I'm feeling quite weak..........she said
Will you comfort and forgive me........she said
She said she's still searching
For salvation's light
She said she wishes all day
And She prays all night
She said she won't speak of love
Because love she's never known
She said it's moments like these
She hates to be alone
Forgive me......she said
Forgive me........she said
