For Annie - Petra

No one ever noticed Annie weeping

People all around, but she was alone

Mama’s got her meeting and Daddy’s got his job

But no one’s got the time, Annie’s on her own

No one ever knew her desperation

People couldn’t hear her cry out silently

Locked inside the bathroom she grabs a jar of pills

The medicine that cures becomes the poison that kills

And it’s too late for Annie

She’s gone away for good

There’s so much we could tell her

And now we wish we could

But it’s to late, it’s too late for Annie

Sadness fills the hearts of Annie’s family

Daddy tries to comfort Mama uselessly

They hoped she knew they loved her

But they really didn’t know

They just want to know

Why did their baby go?

If only we’d have known her situation

We’d have tried to stop this useless tragedy

Annie’s lost forever, never to be found

But there are lots of others like her all around

And it’s not too late for Annie

She could be next to you

Don’t miss the chance to tell her

Before her life is through

We gotta tell her Jesus loves her

Tell her Jesus cares

Tell her He can free her

And her burdens bear

It’s not too late
