Years ago, I was all alone
and their eyes were on me
my mother died when I was nine

The pain was all I'd seen
The judge's hand had decreed a brand new way
Then her family came and I was asked to stay


Used words for sadness, used words for pain
Used words for sadness, used words for pain


An angel came, to rescue me
And Rachel was her name

Reflections of my life what gone now
Our things were sold away
A yielding friend gave to me the angel's hand

My life has changed so much, displaced
like shifting sand


There's no more sadness, there's no more pain
There's no more sadness, there's no more pain
Oh, in my day
