When Lonely comes to call
It doesn’t give you warning
You might not understand
Afternoon or in the morning
When Lonely comes to call
It takes you by surprise
As the tears begin to fall
Never see it coming
When Lonely comes to call
All the insecurities
You thought you left behind
All the words left in your mind
That took your confidence ‘
Although you don’t believe them
Suddenly make sense
You are too plump
Not pretty enough
Not at all like your sister
Come on now be tough
If you would only …
Cut your hair or learn to dress,
Lose that weight, stand up tall
Come on straighten up’
Why are you such a mess?
When Lonely comes to call
These are the things
That comes spinning back
Suddenly your heart feels under attack
In a room full of people
Or all on your own
When Lonely comes to call
It’s a funny thing
That what we do
to each other
In the guise of care
No one sees the effects
Not father sister Mother
Remember my dear
Those words aren’t real
If you don’t give them power,
Your heart they can’t steal
Turn lonely into solitude,
And enjoy the quiet time.
Reflect on all that you
Have become, and
What you have left behind
And remember when
All is said and done
You my friend are worth it
Put your faith in God above
He believes you are perfect
