Hurt No More · letra

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a teen Who would rather be dead than alive, And it seems that her only means of escaping this life Is to dream about a day when momma Wouldn't be an addict and daddy would have stayed. Then, maybe they'd pay just a little more attention To their baby daughter who's filled with so much aggression And so many questions like, what is the purpose of living When nobody even notices her existence And her intuition tells her just to give up. No matter how hard she tries it's just not good enough Her life means nothing and three times she tried to lose it The scars on her wrist are proof that she tried to do it. A young strong beautiful queen but when she looks in the mirror The reflection is blurred her perception is unclear. She lacks the confidence her self worth's less then a half a cent Her mother told her her conception was an accident. Now who's to blame cause her parent's parent's did the same Broken homes hereditary till somebody breaks the chain Ain't it messed up how you need a licence to drive But you don't even need a permit to raise up a child. Her mother told her don't speak 'less your spoken to But nobody speaks to her whos she s'posed to speak to? Other students at her school pass jokes and laugh Because she can't afford to purchase the clothes that they have. She can't take it no more, face down on the floor Heart's broken into pieces and it's achin' in her soul She can't look for help cause there's nobody there. There's no one to turn to no one who cares but child lift your head 'Cause there's Someone who has felt every single pain And can heal your wounds I know Somebody who is all you need And this is what He said to me, listen closely

Chorus:

You don't have to hurt no more cause I'll carry your pain (ca-a-rry your pain) You don't hate yourself 'cause I'll carry your blame (ca-a-rry your blame) You don't have to search no more 'cause I'm all that you need You don't have to feel alone 'cause I'm always right here
Shorty's all grown now, got a child of her own now Baby's one year old and she's gotta be strong now Strong for the both cause she's all alone now Her man left her in the cold long ago now She made a promise that she wouldn't leave her baby so needy Like her mother did to her but trust it's not easy She's losing her patience, it's so frustrating When day after day she can't make payments It's not fair, eight dollars an hour is all that they'll pay her When most of that goes to putting her baby through daycare The welfare is helpin' but it's just not enough To move her baby out the hood where the streets are so rough She's got two mouths to feed two bodies to take care of Lettin' her baby down is what she's most scared of She thought it couldn't get worse but that very day Human services threatenin' to take her baby away She's cryin' on the floor in a room with no furniture Baby crawls up and wants mommy to nurture her She's sorry that she couldn't do the things she promised So sorry that she couldn't be the world's greatest momma But she wasn't even given a chance it's not fair She's angry at God shakes her fist in the air But child, understand this wasn't His plan The pain that you feel's a result of fallen man The emptiness inside is a yearning to pray We can't make it on our own He didn't build us that way He won't leave you nor forsake you like the rest of this world Cause He's the Father to the fatherless and you're is baby girl You're worth so much to Him, He gave His life for you He took nails in His hands and He died for you By His wounds you've been healed, He can set you free And this is what He said to me, listen closely

Chorus:

You don't have to hurt no more cause I'll carry your pain (ca-a-rry your pain) You don't hate yourself 'cause I'll carry your blame (ca-a-rry your blame) You don't have to search no more cause I'm all that you need You don't have to feel alone cause I'm always right here
