ANSWERED PRAYERS

I WATCHED YOU WALK AWAY.
SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY 
CHILDREN GAMES WE PLAYED,
THEN OUR HEARTS STRAYED 

HEARTS FLOATING ON WAVES 
TO THE MERCY OF THE TIDE,
DRIFTED YEARS, LOST AT OTHERS SIDE.
WASTED YEARS THAT MADE US CRY
BROKEN, BEWILDERED, AND EMPTY INSIDE 

THEN I PRAYED..
LIKE A FLASH OF LIGHTENING 
YOU APPEARED,
AND AT THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE 
I FORGOT THOSE PAINFUL YEARS.
ITS TRUE, THE GOD OF LOVE
ALWAYS ANSWERS THE FAITHFUL PRAYERS.
