Let Them Love Me

I guess I shouldn't be so anxious standing here alone-
Today I get my new Mom and Dad - today I'm going home!
God , please let them love me - I will try so hard to be good.
I've never had a Mom and Dad to love me as they should.

God, please don't let them hit me like my other mom used to do-
Or let me go hungry - or cry all night thru.
God , please let them love me - I'm so scared and alone.
My little heart has never known the love I thought was gone.

I never want to go back to the other life I had-
Mom, she drinked alot and Daddy- he was bad.
Both of them would hit me alot - Dad would touch me too-
He would reach and grab me - do things he shouldn't do!

God, please let them love me- my new Mom and Dad-
Give me the love in my life that I've never had.
I've been here for awhile - watched other kids come and go-
Wondering who would want ME- I'm not much , I know!

Finally the day has come - I'm waiting by the door-
Oh PLEASE God, let them love me- I've never had that before.
I'll do anything they ask- I want to be their little girl-
I've always lived in a dark and ice cold world.

Oh God , there's a car coming - I'm so scared, you see-
Oh please, please dear God - let them love me!
