SHE STEPS OFF THAT GREYHOUND
IN THE MIDDLE OF ...DOWNTOWN LA
AN OLD LADY LEANS OVER, SAYS TO THE DRIVER
THAT CHILDS BEEN CRYING NEARLY ALL THE WAY
15 YEAR'S OLD, BEEN ABUSED SINCE SHE WAS BORN
SAID SHE HAD TO RUN AWAY TO FIND HER A BETTER LIFE
"SOMETHING MORE"
NOT A CLUE WHERE TO GO OR WHAT TO DO
FEELING OUT OF PLACE
STANDING THERE WITH HER SUITCASE
HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE...TEARS ROLLING DOWN HER FACE
TREMBLING INSIDE, SITS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR
SHE CRYS OUT...SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME FIND
"SOMETHING MORE"
___________________________________________________
SOMETHING MORE, MORE THAN WHAT SHE HAS
SOMETHING MORE, ANYTHING BETTER THAN THAT
SOMETHING MORE, GOD OPEN UP THE DOOR
SHE'S NOT ASKING FOR TOO MUCH LORD, JUST
"SOMETHING MORE"
THE OLD LADY JUMPS DOWN
OFF THE BUS TO THE GROUND, HOLLERS OUT WAIT
GRABS THE GIRL BY THE ARM, SAID I WANT TO HELP YOU CHILD
GOTTA BE A BETTER WAY
WHEN YOU CRY, I CRY...GIRL MY HEART IS TORN
I DON'T HAVE A LOT TO OFFER, BUT WHAT I DO HAVE IS
"SOMETHING MORE"
REPEAT CHORUS.........
