Story Behind The Song
Depression and Desperation
Song Description
When adversity strikes, it can be over whelming, and there is often nobody to share our trials with. But my Mama told me God notices the smallest bird that falls in the forest, so I guess I'm not so alone, after all.

Lyrics
Does anyone hear me, so desperately calling?
Does anyone listen to the things I don't say?
Has anyone noticed how far I have fallen?
Oh, Lord, it has been a bad day.
Is there anyone sharing this pain that I'm feeling?
Has anyone noticed that I'm hurting this way?
Is there any quick fix that can start my heart healing?
Oh, Lord, it has been a bad day.
Chorus: My Mama once told me the Lord hears our calls...
that he guides us and shows us the way...
that he notices each little sparrow that falls...
but, Lord, it has been a bad day.
I'm deep in a tunnel, all alone with my pain.
Desperation's the darkness that drives me to pray.
The glow coming towards me's the light of a train.
Oh, Lord, it has been a bad day.
Is there anyone out there who sees the sun shining?
Is there anyone hearing a happy refrain?
In each cloud, is there really a bright silver lining?
Oh, Lord, it has been a bad day.
Chorus: My Mama once told me the Lord hears our calls...
that he guides us and shows us the way...
that he notices each little sparrow that falls...
but, Lord, it has been a bad day.
