Lyrics

You were once a sweet little girl

so innocent and pure

Your eyes were open and sure

anyone could look right in

I followed closely your gaze

you looked up towards the sky

But I watched your face drift away

other things had caught your eye

The magazines and media supplied you with their plastic protocol

And maybe music television really is the devil after all

But all I can say is I knew you before

You were beautiful back then

before you grew up, before you gave in

You dream of sharing your heart

Instead you share your bed

And your heart beats empty and cold

With all the tears that you have shed

You dream of baring your soul

Instead you bare more skin

And you wear dark glasses to keep

Anyone from looking in

The magazines and media supplied you with their plastic protocol

Oh, and maybe music television really is the devil after all

But all I can say is I knew you before

You were beautiful back then

Before you grew up, before you gave in

And all you want is to hear the words:

"Dear baby I love you"

So you hike your skirt higher still

'Till there eyes are all on you

You drive in fast foreign cars

The color of your sin

And you tint your windows to keep

Anyone from looking in

Oh, and all I can say is I knew you before

You were beautiful back then

Before you grew up, before you gave in

And all I can say is I knew you before

You were beautiful back then

You could be beautiful again..

I cried, because this song relates to me. I used to be the innocent girl, before I "gave in" and turned into a cold hearted, broken, "slut". He's right when he says "you dream of sharing your heart". Dustin gives me hope... Maybe I can be beautiful again and forget the things that broke me.

@downtoawhisper amen! we were graciously lifted up out of the dark! but there are SO many more still wandering around aimlessly. We are to share His light with the world! I know EXACTLY what you mean by "burdened for the lost" :) After His love lifted me, all I could think about was how much I wanted my friends and family to enjoy in His grace, then strangers and anyone who will receive Him:) God bless you and your ministry too:) I look forward to seeing you when we stand in front of the Lord!
