Where I Came From "Song Lyrics"

He said he'd never leave her
That's the first thing that he said.
But, just as soon as she had me...
That's the first thing that he did.

Her father called her a name
And punched her in the face
Which destroyed the heart of this woman...
This child who fell from grace.

    Now the rain, it fell, she was so alone,
    Her heart was filled with shame.
    No one showed her any mercy,
    For, she brought disgrace to the family name.

    And the rain, it fell, from Heaven
    As the tears fell from God's eyes.
    He longed so bad, to hold her...
    And wipe the tears from her eyes.

The man she loved, he came and went,
This was the trial of her life.
She did the best with what she had,
For her life, it was filled with strife.

She thinks of him, even to this day
Though he died in 98'.
He wandered, and partied his life away...
So thus, he sealed his fate.

    Now the rain, it falls, she's still alone,
    And the tears fall from God's eyes.
    He longs so bad, to hold her...
    And wipe the falling tears from her eyes.

    He longs so bad, to hold her
    And wipe the falling tears from her eyes.
