Left Behind Child

To those who have been raised by others and to those who have been unable to provide for their own:

Left Behind Child

Left behind child I see you in the rear-view mirror

I feel your tears as they fall 

but I know you're better off where you are

and I pray

You can't tell my heart is breaking over you.

You don't see the tears that I cry too.

Take your Grandma's hand and close the door;

You can't need me anymore

Left behind child I see you in the rear-view mirror.

I feel your tears as they fall 

but I know you're better off where you are

and I pray

Someday soon, I'll come back and take you home.

Until then you must be Grandma's girl.

Don't forge those words of love I left.

As I kissed your finger tips.

Left behind child I see you in the rear-view mirror.

I feel your tears as they fall 

but I know you're better off where you are

I pray.
