Verse 1:
She's getting used to walking in a straight line
From the lines on her face, she's lived more years than her age
It's been ages since she could look into the mirror
She doesn't want her life to mirror an empty stage
Pre-Chorus 1:
People passing by don't care to know her name
Her life's worth caring about
Regardless of the shame

Chorus:
Desiree ----
She's looking for faith ------
Tired of her old ways
Her baby's cryin' her name
Desiree --
Stop running away

Verse 2:
Her mother hasn't really talked with her much
She couldn't ask for much help every time that she fell
The man she fell in love with gave her such a hard time
Well it's time she stopped feeling sorry for herself

Pre-Chorus 2:
She's one of those someone like Jesus can't ignore
She may have little left
But there's love waiting for

Chorus
