Song I wrote for my daughters while I was waiting

While I was waiting to get my appointment date to adopt my daughters - I couldn't help but think and anguish over how they felt. I am not a song writer but the words came tumbling out about how I thought she must be feeling.

UNSPOKEN PRAYERS by Lydia Tarr

She's scared and all alone,
So afraid of the unknown.
There's a feeling of emptiness
she can't explain.
For now she tries to forget her pain.

Unspoken prayers that have no voice
Born into a life where she had no choice
A hope buried deep
Grows inside her while she sleeps
Will anyone ever hear her silent cries
Before the hope inside her dies?


Will anyone ever hear
Her cry of loneliness and fear?
When will these feelings ever fade?
Maybe someday
Things will change and start to go her way.


God hears the cry of this forgotten child
Whose future seems so bleak
He knows what she needs and doesn't have
And in His plans has the answer to the prayer she doesn't speak.


A child cries to be heard
Her silence screams without a word.
It echoes deep within my heart
A call so strong
For me to not listen would be wrong.


Unspoken prayers that have no voice
Born into a life where she had no choice
A hope buried deep
Grows inside her while she sleeps
Will anyone ever hear her silent cries
Before the hope inside her dies?


Could it actually be
The cry was really meant for me?
Can I help her forget her pain
Or do I care?
God, am I the answer to her prayer?
