Lyrics:

Devoted Yet Unable

Father used to fix things
When I broke them down
Fixed them with a hammer
He’s a saviour with a crown

Mother used to guide me
So I could find my way
Took me by the hand
So her little angel
Would not be led astray

Father used to teach me
I listened when he said
Work a little every day
To serve wine and daily bread

Why don’t You share Your fears
Reveal the things that I can’t see
Let them out of Your troubled heart
Have the courage to make a fresh start

She tries so hard
To leave it all behind
She gains strength day by day

She feels estranged
And out of place
Don’t You see
She’s in need

Now I’m a master
I work with hammer and saw
But I can’t fix my friend’s heart
From behind a closed door

Father can You guide me
My friend is in need
Tormented by the memory
Of the violence inflicted on the street

On a dark winter night
She was on her way home
The smile upon her face
Was quickly erased

She cam home and cried
And she cries every night
The gun in her face
Can never be erased
I try to listen
So she can feel at ease
Try to wash her fear away
So we can live in peace

Never put my best words down
But this time I came close
Sometimes I seem to disconnect
But the truth is
That she is still my rose

Why don’t You share Your fears
Rveal the thingsd that I can’t see
Let tem out of Your troubled heart
Have the courage to make a fresh start

She tries so hard
To leave it all behind
She gains strength day by day
