The Saint

By Amy Grant

83 views May 12, 2026 updated

She was breathless
And so afraid
She spoke her truth
On that innocent day
The beds she had lain in the lines of cocaine
God knows that woman had lost her way
God knows she'd lost her way

Sweet forgiveness she was hoping for
Never showed up
Just a slamming door
Six months in darkness cost her the kids
The sons she had carried
The life she had lived

Does anybody see her
Does anybody care
How did this woman wind up
On the road to nowhere

Broken and hopeless
Now one of the voiceless
She entered a wasteland because of her choices
Silence was deafening
As thundering rain
And all she could see was a lifetime of pain

So she numbed it with alcohol
Numbed it with pills
But all the emptiness wouldn't be filled
It took a man dying
The one with the fists
To make her do anything not to
End up like this

Does anybody see her (Does anybody see)
Does anybody care (Does anybody care)
How did this woman wind up
On the road to nowhere

After all of the tears and all of the waste
Over a decade of lines on her face
Stripped of everything covered in grace
Is this the road to becoming a saint

Stripped of everything covered in grace
Maybe the addicts are really the saints
