His mother
took her last breath and passed away
Death has a way of teaching
the lesson it has it's day
An d dad didn't stay left before
Jack turned eight
Now
Jack has no one to love
so he turns away
Deceased mother and an invisible father
Why bother he constantly
says I oughta be dead
His heart grows harder and
darker and darker
Says he'll be remembered for
his premature departure
It's a long fall from the
roof he's standing on
Luck was as tough as
the concrete he landed on
A life with promise ended
in questions
Inside his bedroom,
he left this letter beg ging for attention, it read
Petty me please, have pity on me I'm missing
the things that make my living complete
Please, somebody feel sorry for me
When I'm gone, you'll be sorry,
you'll see
Katie's middle -aged and overweight,
teeters on obesity
She hopes against hope that when she eats,
she can be free to forget
But it's ingrained in her mind
and ain't a place to hide
Heartbreaks inside,
the past shakes her life
Remembers when her mother
was punched
And every touch that was followed by hush
Alcoholic stepfather
with wandering hands
She was just a kid, it wasn't her fault,
she doesn't understand
He beat her mama conscious and
locked the door behind him
Took
Katie's innocence too,
but nobody stopped him
Blames herself to this day
and overeats to escape
Says she has nothing to give, she
lost it when she was eight
And free as a bird but thinks
she's caged
Mom's long gone but the memories
don't seem to be fading
Hear her voice overtake, play her hiss
The last words on her lips were this
Her last words were this
Petty me please, have pity on me
I'm missing the things that
make my living complete
Please somebody feel sorry for me
When I'm gone you'll be sorry,
you'll see
Petty me please, have pity on me
Do you really think this is how
I wanted to be?
A broken hearted please
feel sorry for me
When I'm gone you'll be sorry,
wait an d see
It's the stockbroker that unfortunately
lost a fortune
Adolescent boy crying cause he
lost his girlfriend
It's the janitor with six mouths to feed
And a wife that says she
doesn't need him
And wants to leave him
It's the young mom whose
baby stopped breathing
The father that lost his son cause he
caught his dad cheating
Or mom
It's the
Vietnam vet with nothing
but regrets
Saw nothing but death
Lost his brothers an d his legs
It's the homeless man with no socks
Sleeping in a cardboard box
Wishing the winter ends and kids
throwing rocks would stop
These are the people that need you
The wall is up but it's so easy
to see through
Democrat souls who need to
be consoled need to be told
I'm right here if you need
me to hold you
Fragile warriors searching
for companionship
And through your love let them see
Christ with his hand on them
Pity them please, have pity on these
They're missing the things that
made their living complete
They're lost with no hope,
tossed to and fro
They bear the cross of loss to the broke
Pity them please, have pity on these
They're missing the things that
make their living complete
Their completion lies in
Jesus
Love them like
Christ and you'll see
Him
