[female

Gentle
acoustic
guitar
picking,

lonely
pedal
steel
slides
in)
The
sun
is
sinking
low
across
the
field
I’
m
sitting
here
with
secrets
not
revealed
My
mind
is
drifting
miles
and
miles
away
To
where
you
are,
my
daughter,
come
what
may
I
remember
when
you
were
just
a
girl
Such
light
and
laughter
in
this
weary
world
But
now
the
shadows
stretch
across
the
floor
And
I
find
myself
just
wishing
for
one
more
Day
to
see
your
smile
and
hear
your
voice
Though
life
has
given
you
a
harder
choice
Oh,
Chola,
can
you
feel
the
prayer
I
send?
I’
m
holding
you
until
the
shadows
end
Through
every
door
that’
s
locked
and
every
night
I’
m
praying
that
you
find
your
morning
light
You’
ve
got
a
spirit
made
of
mountain
stone
But
don't
you
ever
feel
you're
on
your
own
My
love
is
like
a
river
running
deep
A
promise
that
my
heart
will
always
keep
Four
years
of
chasing
dreams
that
won't
take
hold
An
IT
degree,
a
story
yet
untold
I
see
the
frustration
resting
on
your
brow
I
wish
I
could
provide
the
answer
now
You
want
your
own
place,
you
want
to
stand
tall
And
watch
your
independence
never
fall
But
honey,
sometimes
seasons
take
their
time
Like
waiting
for
a
mountain
road
to
climb
Your
strength
is
beautiful,
it
shines
so
bright
Even
when
you're
searching
for
the
light
Oh,
Chola,
can
you
feel
the
prayer
I
send?
I’
m
holding
you
until
the
shadows
end
Through
every
door
that’
s
locked
and
every
night
I’
m
praying
that
you
find
your
morning
light
You’
ve
got
a
spirit
made
of
mountain
stone
But
don't
you
ever
feel
you're
on
your
own
My
love
is
like
a
river
running
deep
A
promise
that
my
heart
will
always
keep
I
know
the
burden’
s
heavy
on
your
soul
Sometimes
the
broken
pieces
make
us
whole
Don't
let
the
waiting
weary
out
your
grace
There’
s
purpose
in
this
quiet,
holy
space
Just
keep
on
walking,
keep
on
looking
up
There’
s
mercy
pouring
over
in
your
cup
You
are
my
firstborn,
flesh
and
bone
of
me
The
strongest
heart
that
I
will
ever
see
I’
m
proud
of
every
step
that
you
have
made
Despite
the
prices
that
you've
had
to
trade
So
hold
your
head
up
high,
my
precious
child
Though
life
right
now
feels
tangled
up
and
wild
My
arms
are
open
even
from
afar
To
catch
you,
love
you,
just
the
way
you
are
Oh,
Chola,
can
you
feel
the
prayer
I
send?
I’
m
holding
you
until
the
shadows
end
Through
every
door
that’
s
locked
and
every
night
I’
m
praying
that
you
find
your
morning
light
You’
ve
got
a
spirit
made
of
mountain
stone
But
don't
you
ever
feel
you're
on
your
own
My
love
is
like
a
river
running
deep
A
promise
that
my
heart
will
always
keep
I
love
you,
Chola.
Always,
my
daughter.
Just
keep
the
faith. (
