Sheila

Looking back down this long dirt road

You carried a heavy and lonely load

A whole lot of heartbreak, a whole lot of tears

Just feeling so lost through the passing years

Looking for love in the pouring rain

Trying to walk out of a life of pain

But I'm praying for you, Sheila

I know the good that's in your soul

Even when the rest of the world is blind

And the wind is blowing cold

They might not see the beauty shining through

But keep your faith, believe it with love

I'm praying for you

People look but they don't always see

The kind of woman that you try to be

You've got a gentle spirit they overlook

Like an unread page in a beautiful book

You gave your best when the chips were down

Even when the shadows fell all around

But I'm praying for you, Sheila

I know the good that's in your soul

Even when the rest of the world is blind

And the wind is blowing cold

They might not see the beauty shining through

But keep your faith, believe it with love

I'm praying for you

All that misery is fading in the rearview mirror

The path ahead is finally getting clearer

Hold on to the hope that you've kept inside

Let that steady love be your guide

'Cause I'm praying for you, Sheila

I know the good that's in your soul

Even when the rest of the world is blind

And the wind is blowing cold

They might not see the beauty shining through

But keep your faith, believe it with love

Yeah, keep your faith, believe it with love

I'm praying for you, Sheila
