Lyrics
My child is missing the police are doing their best
These are the facts no one can change them
They found her schoolbooks and cotton print dress
I told her never to talk to strange men.
Her picture is in the papers and on TV
Her books and clothes neatly stacked on the shelf
My face is grilled with anxiety
My friends have called with offers of help
She means everything to me
We know that God will give and God will take
I'd give anything to have my baby home soon
My child is missing and they're dragging the lake
Untouched forever shall remain her room
She meant everything to me.
