Saw a girl the other day
She’d been jumped while walking home
Don’t understand why things have to be this way
Why was this girl all alone??
Questions running through my head
I listened to her story
Made me cry that night in bed
Now I wonder who, doing that, could feel any glory??
Crying hard as she spoke
Her cheeks were wet with tears
Sounded as if her heart had been broke
She’d just lived out her worst fears.
Said she was certain to have a black eye
From being punched by her peer
Feeling hopeless, I question why
Why did this happen to a girl so sincere??
Wish I could have helped her out
Wish I could have been there
To stop the little round-a-bout
Or at least end it in a way that was fair.
Since I couldn’t now I pray
For the girl who got attacked
Lord please hear these words today
Be with the girl and help to heal a heart that’s been cracked.
