Help Me Understand - Wilma Lee Cooper[00:00:00]
A little girl prayed[00:00:16]
At the close of the day[00:00:18]
'Cause her daddy[00:00:24]
Had gone far away[00:00:26]
On her little face was[00:00:31]
A look of despair[00:00:34]
I stood there and listened [00:00:39]
And I heard this prayer[00:00:42]
My mommie says [00:00:47]
"Daddy has brought us to shame[00:00:49]
And I'm never no more[00:00:54]
To mention his name"[00:00:57]
Lord take me and lead[00:01:02]
Me and hold to my hand[00:01:05]
Oh heavenly father [00:01:09]
Help me understand[00:01:13]
You know friends I wonder[00:01:21]
How many homes are broken tonight[00:01:23]
And just how many tears are shed[00:01:25]
By some little word of anger[00:01:28]
That never should have been said[00:01:31]
I'd like to tell you a story[00:01:33]
Of a family I once knew[00:01:35]
Well call them Mary and William[00:01:37]
And their little daughter Sue[00:01:40]
Now Mary was just a plain mother[00:01:42]
And Bill was just a usual dad[00:01:45]
Then one day something happened[00:01:49]
It was nothing of course[00:01:50]
But one word led to another[00:01:52]
And the last word led to a divorce[00:01:54]
Now here were two grown up people[00:01:57]
Who failed to use common sense[00:02:00]
They strengthened[00:02:03]
Their own selfish pride[00:02:04]
At little Sue's expense[00:02:05]
You know she didn't ask[00:02:07]
To be brought to this world[00:02:09]
To drift from pillar to post[00:02:11]
But a divorce never[00:02:13]
Stops to consider[00:02:14]
The ones it hurts the most[00:02:16]
There'd be a lot[00:02:18]
More honest loving[00:02:20]
In this wicked ole world today[00:02:21]
If just a few parted parents[00:02:23]
Could hear little Sue say[00:02:26]
My mommie says [00:02:31]
"Daddy has brought us to shame[00:02:33]
And I'm never no more[00:02:39]
To mention his name"[00:02:42]
Lord take me and lead me[00:02:48]
And hold to my hand[00:02:50]
Oh heavenly father [00:02:56]
Help me understand[00:02:59]
