SONG #45
9/24/95
Deed is Done
Originally, the song's subject perished in a car accident, the subject
then became a little girl dying of cancer, and the direct challenge to God on His decision to end this life.

Oh so I pray
Oh at night
I wake up praying
all day light
I pray to you
and hear my request
I ask of you
to save this baby
O look at the girl
from inside
is cancer eaten
is life deprived
and if so by who
could it be you
I see no need
for a baby's wisdom
for you
Oh god the girl
all yellow turned
cheeks are swollen
and soul is burned
Oh but the girl
the girl is gone
and the deed is done
it must be wrong
Now I pray
my prayers not heard
could it
be your death
death to mortal word
Oh and see her pain
and drain and drain
could you be deaf
and blind
my friend
oh and so we hold
can you not hear
can you not see
and if with words
you could change the way
things are arranged
surely you'd be speaking
seeking no change
Oh but the girl
deaf dumb and blind
from the cancer burning
deep down inside
oh but the deed is done
and the girl is gone
and I see no faith
that I have won
well you may find you're little
you may find your tracks
you may go
for me the girl
is gone
Oh you may find you're attraction
to me the baby's gone
