Golden.

Daddy comes home and Daisy says hi
He kisses her head then says goodbye
And Dylan's in his room, doesn't come downstairs
He's searching in the Bible for an answer to his prayers
And Dylan doesn't know
Dad's about to go

He and Daisy laugh like when they were kids
When he says hi to Dad like he always did
And Momma's in the kitchen doesn't meet his eyes
Dad says work was good, good as his disguise
Dylan and Daisy don't know now
Why Daddy leaves the house

Up inside her room Daisy hears a shout
Dylan goes downstairs to try and figure things out
It's coming from the master bedroom once again
So he runs back upstairs and just pretends
Sitting in his bedroom with his head in his hands
He's crying out to God and tries to understand
Why's there so much pain?
Can't I get away?

Daisy in the morning finds an egg to fry
When she turns and sees the circles under his eyes
Dylan says it's homework but the both of them know
When there's fighting in the house a lie like that won't go
The egg is burning now
Someone calm us down

A couple Sundays pass, and the kids go play
Fifteen-year-old Dylan and little Daisy get away
And Mom and Dad are out and the doorbell rings
Dylan opens up and it's some dude he's never seen
"Dylan, can I speak to you
"Just for a moment or two?"

Daisy can't help but listen at the door
The man says some common words, like "parents' counselor"
He says, "Your Daddy's leaving Mom because he found somebody else."
And that's when Dylan screams, "Why can't he tell me that himself?"
And Daisy leaves the door
Can't listen anymore

Several hours later is when Dad gets home
Daisy hears the yelling start and can't hold in the moan
She could hear it from a million miles away
But up there in her room is exactly where she'll stay
And Mommy isn't here, but Dylan cries out
And demands to know what this whole lie's about
Father says it's true
"Your mom will live with you."

Dylan's voice cracks, he says, "What about God?
"What about just everything you've told me all along?"
But Daddy doesn't answer, just puts his head in his hands
And finally he speaks, "Why can't you understand?"
It goes on and on
Everything is wrong

Dylan says, "What if I committed suicide?"
Dad says, "Dylan please--" Dylan asks, "What is my life?
Daddy says, "Don't kill yourself, you mean so much to me."
"If I meant something to you, then Dad, you wouldn't leave."
Daddy leaves the room
Daddy leaves the room

About a week later, something's going down
Mom died in an "accident," the kids move out of town
Living with their aunt who tries to help them breathe
But she divorced her man when she was twenty-three
Dylan runs away
Daisy still remains

About a month in Daisy hears the news
They found Dylan's body, but not enough clues
They said they couldn't tell if it was deliberate
But Daisy tells herself she's got the evidence
She already knows
Saw it coming 'bout a month ago

Five years finds Daisy now at eighteen
Crying on the phone as another man leaves
Daddy, and then Dylan, now the boy she thought would stay
'Cause she thought they were in love, and he thought it was a game
And now, once again, she's been replaced
'Cause he left for someone else, it was a prettier face
Daisy curls up on the floor
With the slowing heart he tore

And she lies there forever and the crying doesn't stop
She considers Dylan's exit, but decides she must be strong
Now everyone has left her, her aunt's home and getting drunk
And college might be working, but she's won't have anyone
I can't go on from here
I can't go on from here

But from her view on the floor, she can see something
Underneath the bed, several golden letters gleam
So she pulls out the Bible and she looks inside
Soon she's screaming out to God, "Why, oh why?"
And then there was a light
She had to squint her eyes

"Daisy, I'm right here, believe me, you are seen.
"You're gonna be okay, and Dylan's here with me.
"His car fell in the lake 'cause he lost control,
"But it wasn't too late to save his soul."
She cried and changed her life
She felt Him hold her tight
