Big Bob Young: Music

Somewhere Tonight

(Big Bob Young)
INSPIRATION; the inspiration for this song came from my two daughters. I'm happy to say the events depicted in this song didn't happen. If they had I would have been left with nothing but the power of prayer.

LYRICS:
Somewhere Tonight

Somewhere tonight a good girl made a bad choice
Now she feels dirty inside
She believed that boy when he said he loved her
Now she knows that he lied
Broken hearted, decides to take her own life
Feelin’ there’s no other way
But somewhere tonight a daddy thinks about his little girl
And with his face in his hands begins to pray

CH Somewhere tonight a mom is prayin’
Somewhere a daddy’s on his knees
And the gates of hell will not prevail against them
For in the name of the lord they believe

Somewhere tonight at a bus stop in a strange town
A man sits down beside a girl he doesn’t know
You may not understand this but the lord sent me over here
To buy you a bus ticket home
A few short hours later as she steps off of that greyhound
Sees her daddy standin’ there
And they embrace tears of joy runnin’ down his face
He thanks God for the power of prayer

CH repeat
