She walked away

She walked away Lyrics

She couldn't take one more day
Home was more a prison now
Independence called out
She had to get it
A fight was all she needed
To give her a reason
She slammed the door with no "goodbye"
And knew that it was time

And now she's drivin' too fast
She didn't care to glance behind
And through her tears she laughed,
"It's time to kiss the past goodbye
I'm finally on my own
Don't try to tell me 'no'
There's so much more for me
Just watch what I will be..."

Chorus:
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leavin'
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away

Not a day goes by
for the ones she's left behind
They're always askin' "Why?"
as thoughts of her consume their minds
"God, please let her know
the love we tried to show
We'll promise anything
if you'll just bring her home..."

Chorus:
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leavin'
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away

"Tell her
We love her
Tell her
She's wanted
One more
thing, God
Tell her
please come home
please come home..."

Chorus:
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leavin'
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leavin'
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away

The choice is yours alone now
Tell me how the story ends...

While the son was still a long way off,
his father saw him and felt compassion for him
And ran and embraced him and kissed him.
"Let us celebrate for this child of mine
who was dead and has come back to life,
he was lost, but now he is found"
and they began to celebrate.
Luke 15:20-24
