"What is your life?
You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes"
James 4:14
She is a precious little Child
Two pig tails and a toothless smile
A world of possibilities
Imagination running wild
It is the worst day of the year
Her Mother gives her an embrace
With eyes welled up in tears
She says "Daddy's gone to a better place"
Lying in bed with tears in her eyes
Afraid of the dark so she turns to the light
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Now she's just turned sweet sixteen
Reading fashion magazines
Her innocence is gone
And she's on the party scene
Hangin' out on Friday night
"Can I bum another light?"
Everything just feels so right
Until her friend commits suicide
Lying in bed with tears in her eyes
Afraid of the dark so she turns to the light
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Now she's just turned sweet sixteen
Reading fashion magazines
Her innocence is gone
And she's on the party scene
Hangin' out on Friday night
"Can I bum another light?"
Everything just feels so right
Until her friend commits suicide
She was an ordinary girl
With a pocket full of dreams
Now she's in an empty life
And nothing's as it seems
The only one that brings her joy
Is her husband of thirty years
Until he has a stroke and dies
Now her joy has disappeared
Lying in bed with tears in her eyes
Afraid of the dark so she turns to the light
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Now she's just turned sweet sixteen
Reading fashion magazines
Her innocence is gone
And she's on the party scene
Hangin' out on Friday night
"Can I bum another light?"
Everything just feels so right
Until her friend commits suicide
Now she's in a nursing home
No one visits any more
Her whole life is behind her
And nothing is before
The only companion left
Is her television set
She hears the pastor's voice on Sunday
Then breathes her last breath
Lying in bed
With tears in her eyes
Afraid of the dark
So she moves towards the light
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Now she's just turned sweet sixteen
Reading fashion magazines
Her innocence is gone
And she's on the party scene
Hangin' out on Friday night
"Can I bum another light?"
Everything just feels so right
Until her friend commits suicide
Do you hear?
Hear His voice?
Calling you to the light
Can you hear?
Hear His voice?
Calling you to the light
