Where were you when I needed you?

As the days grow weary and the skys turn gray
I depend on you to show me the way
it has been a long time since Ive been around here
please give me a sign to show that you are near
the trees have gotten taller
and the nights seem to be getting longer
this darkness had come over me and I dont know which way to turn
its amazing how after all these years there is still so much to learn
walking through the forest I begin to understand
that you will always be there to lend a helping hand

as I look back on my life
seeing all the pain cuts through me like a knife
where were you when I needed you
you should have been there for me then too
growing up I thought you cared about me
I trusted in you to help me when I couldnt see
I know it has been a while, but I didnt think youd go
I never thought you would go so low

walking through the forest the brush begins to clear
and I hear someone yelling come here my dear
I know its been a while but my child you dont see
I was there the whole time, you were the one that left me
the forest had two paths to choose from
I was at the end of the clear one, but you didnt come
you chose to go into the darkness
and make yourself feel hopeless
my dear I have always been there for you
I will help you in everything you do
