Mary Gauthier - Karla Faye Lyrics
A little girl lost
Her world full of pain
He said it feels good
She gave him her vein
The dope made her numb
Until she came down, down, down
To a new misery
A junkie a whore
Living for the next high
She'd lie cheat and steal
She forgot how to cry
Wide awake for two weeks
Shooting heroin then speed
When she killed in cold, cold blood
It's an eye for an eye
Now you're gonna die
A tooth for a tooth
It's your moment of truth
There's no mercy here
Your stay is denied
Go on and pray, pray, pray
There's Mercy in the sky
Alone in her cell
No dope in her veins
The killer'd become
Little girl lost again
She fell to her knees
She prayed she would die
On the cold cement floor
She finally cried
And love came like the wind
Love whispered her name
It reached through and held her
Lifted her pain
15 years on death row
Her faith deeper each day
Her last words were "I love you all"
Good-bye, Karla Faye
Now it's an eye for an eye
And you're gonna die
A tooth for a tooth
It's your moment of truth
There's no mercy here
Your stay is denied
Go on and pray, pray, pray

Mary Gauthier Karla Faye Comments
Thank you for the song Mary . I was 15 when Karla was executed she deserves the song the movie and if Texas didn't have a asshole govenor at the time she would still be here
Omg....this went right to my heart.Tears filled my eyes.There's only one Mary Gauthier and aren't we blessed that she is here. ❤
Just a terrific artist!!....Would love to see her get more exposure!!.....Come to Charleston,SC...Mary!!
I cry when I listento this
This song just hits me where it hurts. I cry every time I listen to it. Mary's song just emphasizes to me why the death penalty is so wrong, so barbaric...and so final.
Stop your grief. Do you not know that Karla is today with her Savior Jesus Christ, rejoicing every second of her new existence. Lord, haste the day when I join her when my own time here is done.
"You'll find mercy in the sky." It is truer than anyone can imagine. "Love came like the wind."
Quote: "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." John 3:8
I am one who believes that Karla Faye Tucker was born of the Spirit despite her horrendous crimes. Though she was executed without mercy, she most surely did find "mercy in the sky." I fully intend to meet her in heaven around the throne of God in that Great Day.
"Her last words, were I love you all"
Mary, you will have to have me shot your videos. I hear visually. This one should have been all over the channels? I am a writer, director, producer and Fan
"love whispered her name"
thanks, Mary.
