Petra - For Annie Lyrics
No one ever noticed Annie weeping
People all around, but she was all alone
Mama's got her meetings, Daddy's got his job
and no one's got the time so Annie's on her own
People couldn't hear her cry out silently
Locked inside the bathroom she grabs a jar of pills
The medicine that cures becomes the poison that kills
[Chorus]
And it's too late for Annie, she's gone away for good
There's so much we could tell her and now we wish we could
But it's too late, it's too late for Annie
Sadness fills the hearts of Annie's family
They hoped she knew they loved her, but they really didn't know
They just want to know why did their baby go
[2nd Chorus]
And it's too late for Annie, she's gone away for good
There's so much we could tell her and now we wish we could
We would tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear
But it's too late, it's too late for Annie
If only we had known her situation,
We'd have tried to stop this useless tragedy
Annie's lost forever, never to be found
But there are lots of others like her all around
[3rd Chorus]
And it's not too late for Annie, she could be next to you
Don't miss the chance to tell her before her life is through
We gotta tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear
Tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear
You've got to tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear
It's not too late

asa parent who has lost a child I can relate

Está canción vino a mí vida cuando tenía 8 años de edad, está canción es muy triste.
HE GIVES US EVERYTHING..SO LET'S REACH OUT TO ALL IN NEED THAT HE DIRECTS US TO...IN FAITH AND BOLDNESS. AMEN.
Wyclef bought me here
Wyclef, how do you like it so far??
This song made me cry even before my PTSD suffering Vietnam vet who could kill almost anybody with his bare hands committed suicide shortly after I turned twenty. It was music like this that kept me going in my childhood.
özledim
petre burda mısın
Real music!
This song just makes me bawl cause I flash back to when I was Annie. GOD stopped me though when I was so close taking my own life. It brings it all back. But its a great song to put it into words
Remember our veterans. God bless them all.
This song is soooo sad. Much like the Newsboys' "Elle G."
shes come undone by The Guess Who
so I'm not the only one that listens to news boys
For all the Annie's gone...let there be no more.
I have been where Annie was, it was a real shock to my family when they found me on the floor trying to strangle myself. I never knew how much I hurt my family, this is a sad song with a positive message saying that if you know of any other Annie's to talk to them about Jesus. I find it difficult in my life to not do what so many have done, but I remember the look on my parents face and the horrific look that shook them up and of course me. I try to help people and care for them, but there is too many people hurting that I can't keep up. I don't wish suicide on any family...
+Jonathan Leslie don't put off till tommorow
I was also in the same place
I try to help people also now I do
I hope you are doing OK now Jonathan.
I love this sad song
Oh God, let us reach out to all of the Annie's in the world. There are so many
so many people busy with games and texting to clicky friends ,if someone was really having problems ,no sympathy in the world today, it would say they have a disease,if they ask for help
Dedicated to Kimberly, a young lady who died and was an organ donor. She gave a liver transplant so I'm still alive,. Her parents said she'd returned to the Lord shortly before an auto accident. That's love!
Yes it does
Very sad song
Very Sad Song
@simonen2808 no its not about weed and suicide is no joke i just hope you dont have a family member or friend try it cause it will definitely change your whole aspect on life
I seen Petra live at the Civic Colosseum in Knoxville,Tennessee 1983.I went with the largest youth group in Tennessee at the time.Front row at my very first concert!They rocked!!!I have loved them since i first heard them in 1981...TY 4 sharing,i could not find Petra's music anywhere that i could just open and listen...
@simonen2808 This song is a challenge to christians to tell the unsaved souls about Jesus
Ive seen Petra with Voltz and Schlitt and to tell you the truth it was awesome no matter who fronted the band. And that means God can and will use whoever he wants.
a friend of mine says theres no good christian rock music in the world. i can name like 20 that are beyond aweesome. this band being one of them. rock on petra!!
my dad used to play petra alot. this one hurts. reminds me of someone i shouldve been there for. he's gone.
What a sad song !!!!!!! The last part is the best....it's a masterpiece !
this song was released in 1981
Thank you for uploading this ;-)
Gossips my friend...people are imperfect anyway... the truth is Petra was a blessing and their songs will keep on touching many lives.
Thank you so much for posting this.Years ago our church did a drama while i sang this and i have been searching for this ever since.x
Sounds like a bunch of unfounded rumors to me.
Love this song as always!
hmm. I wonder what it profits us to know this.
How do you know this?
