Petra - For Annie lyrics

rate me

Words and music by Bob Hartman

No one ever noticed Annie weeping

People all around, but she was all alone

Mama's got her meetings, Daddy's got his job

and no one's got the time so Annie's on her own

No one ever knew her desperation

People couldn't hear her cry out silently

Locked inside the bathroom she grabs a jar of pills

The medicine that cures becomes the poison that kills

(Chorus)

And it's too late for Annie, she's gone away for good

There's so much we could tell her and now we wish we could

But it's too late, it's too late for Annie

Sadness fills the hearts of Annie's family

Daddy tries to comfort Mama uselessly

They hoped she knew they loved her, but they really didn't know

They just want to know why did their baby go

(2nd Chorus)

And it's too late for Annie, she's gone away for good

There's so much we could tell her and now we wish we could

We would tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares

Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear

But it's too late, it's too late for Annie

If only we had known her situation,

We'd have tried to stop this useless tragedy

Annie's lost forever, never to be found

But there are lots of others like her all around

(3rd Chorus)

And it's not too late for Annie, she could be next to you

Don't miss the chance to tell her before her life is through

We gotta tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares

Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear

Tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares

Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear

You've got to tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares

Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear

It's not too late
