I promise

Young boy nowhere to go,
Broken house and a heart of stone.
What he had left of a family,
Is long gone.
Standin there beside the church,
He's all alone in a world of hurt.
He tries to hold it in,
But just makes it worse.
So he steps into his room and locks the door,
Puts the gun against his head and asks the Lord,
Is this the way that I'm supposed to leave?
Or should I drown myself in my misery?
I can't help but think that nobody cares.
God are you out there?
A voice in his head laughs at him,
Says son I love you and always will.
Now put down that thing and don't be afraid,
This is what I say,
That gun your holdin won't make the kill,
But if you let him get to ya the devil will.
So take a deep breath and just look around.
I promise you,
I won't let you down.
Young girl lost her way,
In this cold world she's come to hate.
She wants to go home.
But she thinks its too late.
No idea where the road will turn,
She's takin life,
As a live and learn game.
Leanin up against the church one night,
Givin up on hope and her losin fight.
Letting all her dreams just pass by.
And she starts to cry.
So she steps into her room and locks the door.
Puts the knife against her wrist and asks the Lord,
Is this the way that I'm supposed to leave?
Or should I drown myself in my misery?
I can't help but think that nobody cares.
God are you out there?
A voice in her head laughs at her,
Says girl I love u for now and forever.
Now put that thing down and don't be afraid,
This is what I say,
That knife your holdin won't make the kill,
But if you let him the devil will,
So take a deep breath and just look around.
I promise you,
I won't let you down.
In a tiny church on the edge of town,
Two lost souls, nowhere-bound,
Find each other,
And find out...
That this is how its supposed to be.
A dead end road leads to a busy street,
And no matter what, someone cares.
God is out there.
A voice in the church sings to them,
Children I love you and always will,
Put down your fears and don't be afraid,
Of what I say.
That light that shines from straight above,
Was made by me and made of love.
So take a deep breath, and just look around,
I promise you...
I promise you...
I won't let you down.
