Holy Water
I don't have the answers to mankind's depravity and the human condition. One of the elements that breaks my heart every time I'm exposed to it is those who prey on the weak and innocent. Try as we may we will never be able to rid the world of these reprobates and their incessant drive to hurt those who don't deserve it.
What we can do is love, understand, and empathize with those who are scarred or are being tormented. We can't turn the other way and pretend it doesn't exist and where ever and whenever possible we must protect the innocent. We must be the proverbial "Holy Water" and be a healing stream in the lives of the broken and abused. Make it your goal to offer a cup of cold water this weak and make a difference in someone else's life.
Thank you so much, my friends, for your loving support and admonitions. You bless me every day and I am grateful for you all. Please...be blessed!
Somewhere there's a stolen halo,
I used to watch her wear it well,
Everything would shine,
Wherever she would go,
But looking at her now you'd never tell
Someone ran away with her innocence,
A memory she can't get out of her head,
And I can only imagine,
What she's feelin' when she's prayin',
Kneelin' at the edge of her bed
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water,
Holy water
She wants someone to call her angel,
Someone to put the light back in her eyes,
She's looking through the faces,
And unfamiliar places,
She needs someone to hear her when she cries
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
She just needs a little help,
To wash away the pain she's felt,
She wants to feel the healin' hands,
Of someone who understands
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me
She says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
