This is a song by Big and Rich and the first time I heard it was at an outdoor concert late at night at MMMF. At the time there was a meteor shower and while Big and Rich were singing a shooting star just seemed to fall right behind the stage. Although I am not religious, I think this song speaks beyond religion and reaches into finding hope for better times. I post this song tonight because a young women trusted to tell me her story...and I admire her for her strength throughout these tough times.

Holy Water

Somewhere there's a stolen halo
I used to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine
Wherever she would go
But lookin' at her now, you'll never tell

Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can't get out of her head
And I can only imagine what she's feelin' when she's prayin'
Kneelin' at the edge of her bed

[chorus]
And she says, take me away
Then take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me
Like Holy Water
Holy Water

She wants someone to call her angel
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
She's lookin' through the faces and unfamiliar places
She needs someone to hear her when she cries

Like Holy Water
She just needs a little help
To wash away the pain she's felt
She wants to feel the healin' hands of someone who understands

Like holy water
Like holy water
Like holy water
Like holy water
