Story Behind The Song

This a true story of my life living in a foster home. I was in a foster home from the age of 6 until I was 17.

Song Description

The effects of a disfunctional family, and living through alcohol and divorce. Then being separated from the rest of the siblings. It was a hard life, but we did alright. I just hope yopu will consider my song. It's a true story.

Lyrics

I Just Ask God To Take It Away
Music and Lyrics By: Gregory E. Finch

(1).Just a little boy that's all I was Doing things that a little boy does, I played with crickets and grasshoppers too and I played, and I played, like little boy's do.

(2).When I was six years old things begin to change the state came and got me they took me away nobody I asked could they really explain,so off I went I was in, so much pain.
(First Chorus)

But I kept on hoping and looking out the door that I'll see my mother and she'd hug me once more,
I knew when l grew up the hurt would all go away It didn't, It don't, I just ask God to take it away.
Prayer 2nd Chorus

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
if I should die before I awake,
Thank You Lord You took it away.
I knew when l grew up the hurt Would all go away It didn't, It don't I just thank God, He took it away.

(3).I still cry at night for my mothers love but she's not there just to give me a tuck it is another person who I really don't know I wish I could still play with those dirty little bugs,

(4).Now that I am grown and have children of my own I wouldn't leave them crying nor leave them alone
That day at my house was a bad memory
We were all separated, my brothers, and me.
(Chorus/ Close)

I knew when l grew up the hurt would all go away. It didn't, It don't I just thank God, He took it away.
