Years ago, I was all alone
and their eyes were on me
Mother died when I was nine
The pain was all I'd seen
The judge's hand had decreed a brand new way
The her family came and I was asked to stay

Used words for sadness, used words for pain
Used words for sadness, used words for pain

An angel came, to rescue me
And Rachel was her name
Reflections of that life are gone now
Our things were sold away
A yielding friend gave to me the angel's hand
My life has changed so much, displaced
like shifting sand

There's no more sadness, there's no more pain
There's no more sadness, there's no more pain
Oh, in my day
