When I am exhausted from the day and I am low in my heart—who cares?

When my strength is gone and hopelessness overcomes me—who cares?

When I am forsaken by my loved ones and that which I have cherished is no more—who cares?

When you’ve tried to do the best you can and it turns to ashes—who cares?

When your heart is empty within you and there seems no way to fill it—who cares?

When I am confused and know not my way—who cares?

When my heart needs restoring and rest from the day—who cares?

Who is it that can lift me up when I have stumbled—who is it that can fill my soul with joy when there was no joy within me? Who is it that covers my life with love and directs my ways—who is it that cares?
