Dear Lord It Hurts

Lord I pray by my bed, every night.
But the place I live, we have to be quiet.
Most of the guys, they're just all asleep.
But I never forget, that my soul you will keep.

I have been here two years, since I turned seven.
But Lord could my next home, be up in heaven?
The people are nice, and I'm never alone.
I think the grown ups, call this a foster home.

Chorus
Dear Lord it hurts, when the others go away.
And no one seems to want me, on visiting day.
My best friend left, he looked nice in his new shirt.
And when they drove off, Oh Lord, how it hurt.

Lord I won't complain, 'cause I know some day soon.
That you will choose me, and I'll have my own room.
I keep my clothes packed, except for my new shirt.
It's the one mama got me, before her and dad got hurt.

Lord would you tell them that I miss them so much,
That you'll bring me to them, and their face I can touch?
Lord when I leave, while the others still search,
Would you please be with them, 'cause I know how they hurt.

Chorus
Dear Lord it hurts, when the others go away.
And no one seems to want me, on visiting day.
My best friend left, he looked nice in his new shirt.
And when they drove off, Oh Lord, how it hurt.

Oh Lord, how it hurts.
