Sometimes, things get tough and its hard, and you feel like you're all alone. But then God surprises you with things that touch you and make you cry.

God inspires many, and though we may not always admit it, we all need it.

And then we know just how to tell that person we understand

Though I didn't know you would, thank you for knowing me so well.
I thought this time you wouldn't understand, I myself don't.
But you do. And it makes all the difference in the world.
Thank you for knowing me better than myself sometimes.
Thank you for loving me like Jesus has.
Thank you for being there every step of the way.
Thank you for lifting me up.
But most of all...
Thank you for being my best friend.

And this is how she said "I understand":

Chiquitita, tell me whats wrong
Youre enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that youre oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
Im a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, Im the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see youve broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars theyre leaving
Youll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down
And your loves a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that youre oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars theyre leaving
Youll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
