Everything to Me (a song)

Another tear drop falls
Another day drags on
When will the pain end?
Through her tears she's asking why

Why did this pain fall on me, God?
Why am I a failure with every step?
God, I'm searching for You
But every time I turn around
You're gone!

The driving rain falls hard
She's fallen to the ground
Forcing back the tears
Through the pain she's screaming out

Why did this pain fall on me, God?
Why am I a failure with every step?
God, I'm searching for you
But every time I turn around
You're gone!

And then she hears the voice
Whispering in her ear
"Dear child of mine, You're never alone.
I've never left you once. I've been here all along.
You say you've been searching, but I've been standing right here.
You turned around and I was there, but you wouldn't believe it.
I've been calling you, why haven't you answered?"

She wants to run and hide in shame
She can still hear the sound of her screaming . . .

Why did this pain fall on me, God?
Why am I a failure with every step?
God, I'm searching for You
But every time I turn around
You're gone!

But through her doubt, she still hears the voice
"Dear child, I'll never leave you.
You mean everything to me."~Black
