little child
won't you come to me
you've been
bruised and betrayed
they've kept you
under lock and key
so long you can't
remember what the sun felt like
on your face as you
ran and played outside
you can't remember what
the birds sound like
you're scared and
i understand
your heart was torn
by the trusted ones
you ran to try to save yourself
you were lost
with no way out
so you simply disappeared
into yourself
when they locked that door
broken spirit and a
shattered soul
and now you can't remember
what laughter sounds like
you can't remember
what the rain feels like
on your skin as you dance
in the storm
i'll set you free
if you will only give me your hand
i know you've been battered
and bruised
and i know you can't remember
what love looks like
but little child
come to me
i'll keep you safe
i'll set you free
little child
