Girl in the Red Dress
I saw you and you saw me
Quiet and reserved you didn't say a thing
Even though the other kids were playing
To none of the gringos' arms did you cling
Do you know who you are in the kingdom of God
Do you know there is a crown waiting for you
Do you know that a grand house is ready
That a king is there to carry you through
Your tattered clothes will melt away
Replaced by a gown made of white
Your mismatched shoes will fall from your feet
And you will be lifted to a place beaming with light
You may be unknown in this foreign land
It's inhabitants less than friendly
But in your Father's kingdom there awaits
Love that is never-ending
And maybe you're hungry most of the time
And your plate is almost bare
At your Father's table you will see
A magnificent banquet for you, he's prepared
Although there is strife now and times when you're scared
Your reward isn't here on Earth
For when you invite the King in your heart
In your spirit there is rebirth
Though your little eyes have seen more than they should
And your life has been hard-pressed
Remember your royalty in the Kingdom of Heaven
My little girl in the red dress
