"Let Go and Let God"

it's burning it's burning on fire she cries

for love and affection that passed and has died
the hurt and pain you could see in her eyes
it engulfs her soul, and tortures her mind
in a fight for her life i stretch out my hand
for the pain i know she no longer can stand
"let go and let God" i say out of fear
for the girl that cries dark, lonely tears
now the fire departs, compelled to subside
left no record of joyful thoughts behind
you can't tell with a look, a peek or a glance
but that fire now burns and still burns in her eyes.
