Who will Love me?

A new song has come onto the radio station I usually listen to. The first phrase of the chorus goes: Who will love me for me, not for what I have done or what I will become. This phrase has gone through my head for the last few days. The song gave me chills the first time I heard it. The first verse talks about a little boy in foster care, the second verse talks about a woman abandoned by her husband, and the third verse is about a killer waiting to be put to death.

MAC and I talk every once in a while about how Hubby and I will love her no matter what she does. How there are times when we will be angry with her and that yes sometimes yelling will happen but when all is said and done we love her, just the way she is. I hope that when she feels hopeless she remembers this.

LOVE ME Lyrics

He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He’s the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night, “Dear God won’t you please
Could you send someone here who will love me?”

Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means

Her office is shrinking a little each day
She’s the woman whose husband has run away
She’ll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would’ve stayed
And she says…

Who will love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means

He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone
He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
“Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home”

Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said
“I know you’ve murdered and I know you’ve lied
I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you’ll listen, I’ll tell you that I...”

I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew
