In a corner She Huddled

With Her son in her arms ...

Take My life she cried

But Please Do Him no harm.

Broken and beaten,

With no will left to fight...

She cradled her baby

Long into the night.

What have I done

To warrant this pain ...

My screams fall on deaf ears

My pleas are in vain.

Doesn't anyone see me,

Doesn't anyone care...

Blind stares at these bruises,

But they dare not ask from where.

Beating then beating,

Night after night ...

Would death come to claim us

Before I could put things right.

Would My son live to grow

Into a kind gentle man...

Or would we both perish

By his fathers cruel hand.

If I should stay here

We both shall die...

It must be done,

Expose the lie.

Make the call ,

Walk out the door...

It's time to end this,

To take no more.

Don't look back ,

Ignore those tears he now cries...

The abuse raging inside of him

Shall never fade or die.

There is a new life waiting

There is a brighter new day...

Where you can watch you child

Grow and sweetly play.

Don't ever look back

Though your scars have cut deep...

Just cradle Your sweet baby boy

As You sing him for the first time

 into peaceful sleep.
