[Intro]
May every child who goes astray
Eventually find their way, one day
Let's go
[Verse 1]
A happy man and wife, life worth while
Married two years then they had their first child
He was so excited though it was not a boy
His little princess soon became his pride and joy
Believed in family, that was his universe
She was brought up knowing God, raised in the church
She was sheltered by her father's safe ways
Elementary school to middle school straight A's
Couldn't tell it all this is just a summary
Everybody talked about how great she's gonna be
And she was on that path but no too far along
Now she at school seeing things she never saw at home
Class mates wild, starting trouble up
The other girls wearing skirts, she was covered up
Curious thoughts in mind she tryna walk the line
But now she wondering what she been missing all this time
[Chorus]
Once it's gone all you can do is reminisce
Broken pieces of a young life shattered innocence
Before and after, then and now no resemblance
Hope and pray you never have to echo these sentiments
Once it's gone all you can do is reminisce
Broken pieces of a young life shattered innocence
Before and after, then and now no resemblance
Hope and pray you never have to echo these sentiments
May every child who goes astray
Eventually find their way, one day
Let's go
