Pulled into a world of hatred and lies
And used by men I've come to despise
Been blessed with a man I truly love
Was taken to an early grave
Left me with a child to bear
And a path that I must always hide
Living a life without love
Pacing a world with no sunshine
Branded for the life of my mother
In shame of the things she had done
I've lived my life as a sinner
I know in the way of a thing
But given a daughter much stronger
And blessed with her daddy's
Livin' a life without a man
And I pray that you won't have
And now that death is upon me
Lord, show her what I could never see
Give her a home, Lord, not a street
Lord, make her what I could
Livin' a life without love
Facin' a world with no sunshine
Waving with the life of my mother
Ashamed of the things she had done
Livin' a life without love
Facing a world with no limelight
Waiting for the light from the Lord
Waiting for the light from the Lord
