had a conversation yesterday that i cannot forget

she said it's my baby

he's been running away from who he is

and i've tried to tell him

he's so precious and worth much more than this

but he's made his mind up

thinks he's happy just the way he is

i said i'm so sorry i had no idea

the pain you've been going through

she lifted her head

and what she said i never will forget

she said i tried to love him right

and for so long i held on tight

and it was easy for a while

but the tides arose and pulled him far away

and now my baby's gone

he's out in this world that pulls so hard

what do i do for my broken heart

as i walked away i began to remember

the way my life had been

it was not too long ago

i was at the same place as him

oh but thank you jesus that you love me

no matter where i've been

but it took some time to realize

you died to cleanse my sin

so i will try to love you right

and i will try to hold on tight

and although i fall from time to time

i'm reminded that i need you every day

and when i cannot see the light

still i will try to hold on tight

and all my wrongs you can make right

had a conversation yesterday that i cannot forget
