Lyrics

She wasn’t even one years old
When you left her on her own
She could count on one hand
All the times she saw you in her past
She learned to live without you there
Not with bitterness or despair
She learned that love could be found elsewhere
And all her dreams did not have to end there

Out of brokenness comes mending
Out of loss comes strength
She learned her life didn’t depend on
The choices that you made
And she could go on in her own strength

It wasn’t always easy when she was a child
She fought through the issues
Created by the holes you left behind
As she grew older and stronger
Any need for you was left behind
Not to wound or to destroy
Just a part of life‘s journey left behind

Out of brokenness comes mending
Out of loss comes strength
She learned her life didn’t depend on
The choices that you made
And she could go on in her own strength

She’s not responsible to help you
Make up for the choices of your past
You need to find your own way
To come to terms with what you left behind

Out of brokenness comes mending
Out of loss comes strength
She learned her life didn’t depend on
The choices that you made
And she could go on in her own strength

She wasn’t even one years old
When you left her on her own
