~A LITTLE GIRL~

There's a little girl crying behind sad eyes
and nobody sees through her happy disguise.
There's a demon in the soul of a little girl
and insanity's grip around her thoughts unfurl.

There's a jinx in the blue-black air of night
and a little girl fighting with the last of her might.
There's a disease coursing through a little girl's veins
and she hides her teardrops in December rains.

There's a big cry trapped inside a lonely girl
and a troubled mind in a paranoia swirl.
There's a curse in the soul of the universe
and it's cast on a little girl who couldn't be worse.

There's a god ignoring a little girl's cry
and her tears of hurt are welling in her eye.
There's a little girl dying down deep inside
and a world of strangers to her face that lied.

There's a little girl beat and bruised all alone
and not a single loving voice on the telephone.
There's a silent scream trapped in a little girl's throat
and a society of vultures who do nothing but gloat.

There's a little girl cold and feeling so lost
and she doesn't understand her heartaches cost.
There's an evil lurking in a quiet town
and a little girl being told she's going down.

There's a mother and father forgetting their daughter
and a chance for a normal life getting shorter.
There's a little girl asking why she's hated so
and an echo of voices saying, only you know.

There's a little girl holding onto herself
because she can't get the arms of anyone else.
There's a little girl terrified and crying down deep
and a depressed soul who can't get enough sleep.

There's a little girl missing out on a life of fun
and a tragic story slowly coming undone.
There's an answer in the heart of everyone
and a vicious people hiding it along with her son.

There's a little girl wanting to die today
because of a family who threw her love away.
There's a little girl who seems will never be free
and that little girl is the little girl in me.
