A ballad written on my acoustic guitar. I like to call it spiritual pop. Completely written from my gut and I hope that comes across. It is a true story.

Singer/Songwriter with a message and a voice to match. From melodic driven ballads to upbeat pop/rock tunes, Maria's music is sure to reach into your heart!!
Maria Calfa-DePaul has been writing songs since she was 15. Music has always been an important part of her life. Her passion was cut short when she developed a cyst on her vocal cords. Maria was unable to sing for 8 years. She became a school teacher but eventually her speaking voice suffered so much that she "sounded like Marge Simpson's sister" In Sept of 05 Maria found a doctor who removed the cyst without damaging her vocal cords; a truly amazing feat! Her singing voice was completely restored and after 6 months of intensive speech therapy with a classical trained singer turned SLP Maria began performing and recording. Her debut CD "Moments of Happiness" is available at cdbaby.com and contains 10 original songs. Her songs speak directly to the heart because that is where they were conceived. Maria is excited to share her thoughts on life,loss love and hope to all who are willing to give some fresh new music a try...continue to believe...continue to dream! www.mcd-music.com

Story behind the song
This song was emotionally healing for me to write during a very difficult time. I could not get a grip and kept falling apart very easily. I came home from work and poured my heart into the words and the music. This song flowed out of me like a river and when I was done I felt healed and able to move forward. I have found that it has helped a lot of people who have listened to it and they have encouraged me to let more people hear this song. We are all human and have periods in our life where our faith his questioned. May this song be a source of comfort and healing to all who are touched by it...Maria
Lyrics
I heard some news I can’t comprehend I can’t understand it makes me sick inside All I keep saying is why God why My heart keeps praying but I feel like I’m losing my faith I feel so ashamed All I keep saying is it's so unfair Why are you taking one who should be spared? I feel so betrayed When push comes to shove is your love enough? Only the good get taken, in your world their awakened But our world is left shaken and confused Only the good get taken I feel my heart breaking And the lights are fading way too soon Yet it’s your faith that gets you through the day Gets you through each night When you can’t escape the pain So who am I to question why Increase my faith this is my silent prayer And when I feel afraid remind me your still there When I’m alone and I lose hope Please hear my prayer Only the good get taken, in your world their awakened But our world is left shaken and confused Only the good get taken I feel my heart breaking And the lights are fading way too soon Increase my faith this is my silent prayer And when I feel afraid remind me your still there When I lose hope And I’m alone Please hear my prayer Please hear my prayer Please hear my prayer Maria T.
