Story Behind The Song

I went through a divorce after almost 4 years of marriage , and it was the hardest thing I ever had to get through. During the marriage I saw my step kids in tears many a times because of what little bit of time they got to spend with their dads .God did bring good out of the situation , by giving me this song.

Song Description

A child , broken by divorce

Lyrics

The Rest
She sit's there crying , in the back of the courtroom
Holding her grandma's hand, all she wants is to go home
With her mommy and daddy She's too young to understand
That in these days , for better or worse
Are only word that two people say
And no matter who wins or loses this fight
It's her fragile heart who'll pay
CHORUS
She's livin' in a fairytale , with no happily ever after to be read
Many years from now, she'll still recall
All the angry words they've said
All the kings horses and all the king's men
Can't possibly fix this mess
All I'm asking of you Lord Is that you guide that little girl
Through the rest
Vs 2
She tries to hold back the tears, as he tells her goodbye
She won't see him for a couple of weeks
He kisses her forehead, then he walks away
And the tears roll down her cheeks
He'll never call, He's got a life of his own
He's burning those bridges fast
And the time will come , those days she's calling him dad
They'll all be in the past
Chorus Repeat
bridge
Lord you felt the sting of lonely,
When you hung there on that cross
She needs some love from her father
She's just a little lost
Chorus # 3 (slightly different lyric)
Livin' in a fairytale , with no happily ever after to be read
God if you wanted to , You could take the pen,
And rewrite this story's end
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Can't possibly fix this mess
All I'm asking of you Lord , Is that you guide that little girl
Through the rest
