Dear Oprah

Today on Oprah, Susan Cagan debuted her song entitled "Dear Oprah." She was discovered in the NYC subway.At the age of 17, Susan ran away from home and went to New York City to start a new life. Susan grew up with a very strict upbringing. Her parents were involved in religious cult. Susan felt that she had to run away to take advantage of what the world has to offer. Through those hard times she wrote a letter to Oprah and later made into a song. Here are the lyrics. I hope they move you as they moved me.



DEAR OPRAH by Sarah Cagan

I am broken, got a problem, and my world is crashing down.
I am writing with the hope that my letter will be found.
Dont expect you to read it, probably got better things to do.
I got no one to turn to, so I'm turning to you.
I'm out on a ledge, im stepping near the edge, I'm at the end of my road, you gotta give me some hope.

Dear Oprah
you see i had to run away.
Dear Oprah
and i aint got no where to stay.
I hope ya.
I hope you never feel this way.
You probably have your own stuff to deal with anyway.
Dear Oprah

Its shocking.
What its come to.
How my life is such a mess.
How quickly you can lose it all.
And I lost it, I confess.
I had a bad life, a bad home, and a messed up family.
And I woke up one morning and I got myself free.

Dear Oprah
You see I had to run away
Dear Oprah
and I aint got no where to stay
I hope ya
I hope you never feel this way
You probably have your own stuff to deal with anyway

Dear Oprah

Have you ever felt like breaking down?
When there aint no one that cares around
did you feel the this way, back in the day?
and what did you do?

Dear Oprah

You see i had to run away
Dear Oprah
And i aint got no where to stay
I hope ya
I hope you never feel this way
You probably have your own stuff to deal with anyway

Dear Oprah

Im writing you a letter, yea I'm feeling better, yea
I hope you never feel this way
You probably have your own stuff to deal with anyway.
Dear Oprah
I guess I'll turn the TV on and see what you've got to say....
