Avion Blackman - Do You Ever?

She is a precious little Child,
Two pig tails and a toothless smile.
A world of possibilities,
Imagination running wild.
It is the worst day of the year,
Her Mother gives her an embrace.
With eyes welled up in tears,
She says "Daddy's gone to a better place".

Lying in bed with tears in her eyes,
Afraid of the dark, so she turns to the light.

Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?

Now she's just turned sweet sixteen,
Reading fashion magazines.
Her innocence is gone,
And she's on the party scene.
Hangin' out on Friday night,
"Can I bum another light?"
Everything just feels so right,
Until her friend commits suicide.

Lying in bed with tears in her eyes,
Afraid of the dark, so she turns to the light.

Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?

She was an ordinary girl,
With a pocket full of dreams.
Now she's in an empty life,
And nothing's as it seems.
The only one that brings her joy,
Is her husband of thirty years.
Until he has a stroke and dies,
Now her joy has disappeared.

Lying in bed with tears in her eyes,
Afraid of the dark, so she turns to the light.

Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?

Now she's in a nursing home,
No one visits any more.
Her whole life is behind her,
And nothing is before.
The only companion left,
Is her television set.
She hears the pastor's voice on Sunday,
Then breathes her last breath.

Lying in bed, with tears in her eyes,
Afraid of the dark, so she moves towards the light.

Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?
Do you ever think what life is worth?
Where will you go when you leave the earth?

Do you hear? Hear His voice?
Calling you to the light.
Can you hear? Hear His voice?
Calling you to the light.
