Little Girl

Little girl in corner hiding her tears with a
smile. Her eyes are black and blue and
that busted lip has been there for awhile.
But what can anyone do? She's only
eight still so young an age to believe
fairy tales and the man on the moon.
That dreams fading fast the walls closing in
she sees that man raise a fist an prays
to god to take her home again.

Little girl in a hospital bed now everyone sees
the tears she sheds. They see her bruised
eye and her lip which still hasn't healed. She's
only eight to old for her age that fairy tales no longer
exist and the man on the moon cares not about her.
the dreams have faded they can't come back. That man
brought his fist down and God didn't anwer back

Little girl in a wooden box she cries no more tears. Her
bruises and cuts still litter her forever silent still face.
The man on the moon now cries and the teachers,strangers
, nurses, and doctors grieve for the life they could've
saved. But they had been afraid to give her a voice, to let
others seen the truth. But god answered her prayers and brought
her home; where fairy tales are real and the man on the moon
still knows that he's not alone.
