This song was inspired by the Jessica Lunsford story and too many others like hers.
Lyrics
"Little Girl Lost"
(c)R. Dwight Duncan
There's a hole inside this universe where she used to run and play
Now only memories of the innocence the "shadow" took away
Will we say we've done our best, the name was on a list
How can we fail our little ones, How can we take the risk
Chorus I
She's a little girl lost, her picture's on TV
She's crying out from a lonely place
Crying out to you and me
She'll close her eyes and take God's hand
They'll walk along the streams
She's a little girl lost
Puttin' on her angel wings
Verse
And the whole world will see one day
How the Maker weights the scales
Her every tear is counted like the hammer on the nails
And the demons of humanity will finally pay the cost
For the broken spirit and stolen dreams of the little girls we've lost
Chorus
She's a little girl lost, her picture's on TV
She's crying out from a lonely place
Crying out to you and me
She'll close her eyes and take God's hand
They'll walk along the streams
She's a little girl lost, puttin' on her angel wings
Chorus II
Another little girl's lost, her picture's on TV
She's crying out from a lonely place
Crying out to you and me
Will she close her eyes and take God's hand
And walk through Heaven's gate
Another little girl's lost and I pray it's not too late
Another little girl's lost and I pray it's not too...
Lord I pray it's not late
