For Annie

No one ever noticed Annie weeping
People all around, but she was all alone
Mama's got her meetings
And Daddy's got his job
But no one's got the time
So Annie's on her own

No one ever knew her desperation
People couldn't hear her cry out silently
Locked inside the bathroom
She grabs a jar of pills
The medicine that cures
Becomes the poison that kills

And it's too late for Annie
She's gone away for good
There's so much we could tell her
And now we wish we could
But it's too late
It's too late for Annie

Sadness fills the hearts of Annie's family
Daddy tries to comfort Mama uselessly
They hoped she knew they loved her
But they really didn't know
They just want to know
Why did their baby go

And it's too late for Annie
She's gone away for good
There's so much we could tell her
And now we wish we could
We would tell her Jesus loves her
Tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her
And her burdens bear
But it's too late
It's too late for Annie

If only we had known her situation
We'd have tried to stop this useless tragedy
Annie's lost forever, never to be found
But there are lots of others like her all around

And it's not too late for Annie
She could be next to you
Don't miss the chance to tell her
Before her life is through
We gotta tell her Jesus loves her
Tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her
And her burdens bear

Tell her Jesus loves her
Tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her
And her burdens bear

You've got to tell her Jesus loves her
Tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her
And her burdens bear
It's not too late
