The long neck bottle is in her hand
She is wasted but still able to stand
You can see the hatred in her eyes tonight
Behind these doors there will be a one sided fight

So weak and defenseless she hides in fear
Fighting to hide the cries of her tears
Her mommy is drinking again, the site is not pretty
Nobody around to even take pity

A little girl screams in the silent of the night
Her little body too weak to even put up a fight
By the time morning comes it will be too late
It is heart breaking knowing this has become her fate

A tombstone lays in a shouldn't place
A little girl with an angel face
Her cries ignored in the dead of night
No longer able to put up the fight

Now she spreads her wings
She is able to fly and able to sing
A little girl with an angel face
A tombstone laying in a shouldn't place

Thank you!Some things need to be

You are welcome, and you are right. Something do need to be said. It is heartbreaking.

Thank you for reading.

* Child abuse usually reflects patterns of behaviour rather than an isolated incident.

* The vast majority of child abusers are parents, relatives, or trusted adults, not strangers.

* Children rarely lie about abuse. They are more likely to deny abuse and take back truthful statements than to make false reports.

* Child abuse knows no class boundaries.

Please do not read and turn your heard. This is important to me.

Thank you for brining up the awareness of child abuse. Things just aren't being done enough to save these precious souls.

This song brings tears to my eyes each and every time I listen to it.

And you are right Flame 1 Cutie. Things are just not being said enough. It breaks my heart to even think that somebody could hurt a child. They are SO precious. And in need of protecting.
