Jayda is so beautiful oh why can't she see
I am not even her mother, and she is very special to me
I don't understand how she could just walk away
How can she leave her day after day
Coming, and going without even a care
Will she someday want to be there
Will she ever wake up
Will she ever care
Will she open her eyes, and see
Her daughter needs a mother
Who will always be there
Tieing her shoes, and brushing her hair
Showing her how to love, and how to care
Teaching her morals, and how to grow strong
Teaching her the difference between right, and wrong
Picking her up when she falls down
Making her laugh when she starts to frown
How can she leave her day after day
Not even looking back when she walks away
Not even wondering who will care
Not even wondering who will be there
Not even wondering if her baby's alright
Or if she sleeps well all through the night
God I pray please answer my prayer
Open her heart, and teach her to care
Show her your love, and give her your hand
Please pick her up, and help her to stand
Fill her with your spirit, and make her clean
Show her the good things in her life that she hasn't yet seen
Take away her pain, and heal her heart
Pick up the pieces that have been torn apart
Wash them gently before you start
Pick up each piece and fill it with you
Put it together, and make it brand new
Show her your love, and let it shine through
Always remind her you picked her up, and your helping her stand
Give her the courage to stay strong
To keep her from doing what she knows is wrong
Always remind her you picked her up, and your helping her stand
And all along you have been holding her hand
Show her, her daughter
Who's a blessing from you
And tell her she needs her mother to hold her hand to
Jayda is so beautiful oh why can't she see
I am not even her mother, and she is very special to me
I am so glad that she is a part of my life
Bless her Lord protect her and keep her safe where ever she maybe
Jayda is so beautiful oh why can't she see
I am not even her mother, and she is very special to me
AMEN.........
