Lyrics

She clutched the square phone with eyes that never held hope
She about 12 yo, but I really couldn't tell though
Her sleeves went past her elbows and when she pulled them low
They covered the cuts that ran back and forth like railroads
A short bow up in her hair to match the shell toes
She stared at me pair of closed eyes, stood there froze
She said, "Can I show you a picture in my cell phone?
It's of my dad and I ain't seen him since he left home
But I ain't mad, it's just my mom, she feels all alone
But don't feel bad cause this is all we ever came to know
This pic's my new school but I don't ever wants to go
Cause everyone thinks they too cool and I hate it so
I hide up in my room and I go and then I locks the door
I don't know what to do, my mom, she thinks she lost control
I wanna show you a little picture before I gots to go."
I said, "Sure" and then she pulled it out slow, saying
[Hook: KJ-52 & (Lea)
If I told you (If I told you), if I showed you (If I showed you)
My pictures are all I can hold to
(What do you see in this picture?)
Could I know you (Could I know you)
, Could I hope you (Could I hope you)
See that my pictures are all I can hold to
She said, "If God love me then why He make me face this?
I think I'm ugly, I wanna change it like a face lift"
And suddenly she went and tore up all four bracelets
And showed me the cuts upon her wrists where they made prints
"Sometimes I get mad, don't know how to take this"
She showed me a picture of her dad back in '86
We look alike all the way to how our face gets
I said, "You're right" and then I laughed, "Let me show you this"
[Hook: KJ-52 & (Lea)
If I told you (If I told you), if I showed you (If I showed you)
My pictures are all I can hold to
(What do you see in this picture?)
Could I know you (Could I know you)
, Could I hope you (Could I hope you)
See that my pictures are all I can hold to
They say a picture's worth a thousand words, that's for sure
Well let me show you this very picture you ain't never heard of
Pulled out a book and she was like, "Well tell me, what is that?
There ain't no pictures in that book, that's just some pages black"
I said, "This picture represents exactly where we at
We in the dark without a spark of hope that'll last"
I flipped the page, she said, "That ain't no picture neither
That's just a blank page, why don't you look a bit deeper?
This represents the very place now that we can go
It's all based on this next page I gots to show"
The next page is red, "You understandin' this?
Well that's the blood that Jesus shed so you can live
And you can exchange your old pictures right now for Him
And you can trade it all in for what He's down to give"
I put the pictures in her hand, see it comes down to this
Which one you holdin' on to, yours or His?
[Hook: KJ-52 & (Lea)
If I told you (If I told you), if I showed you (If I showed you)
My pictures are all I can hold to
(What do you see in this picture?)
Could I know you (Could I know you)
, Could I hope you (Could I hope you)
See that my pictures are all I can hold to
