Tonight I  write a verse for the innocence that was lost
The girl so small and terrified
The man so big and strong
The mother who looked onward and never said a word
Then wondered many years later why her daughter was so full of pain

If I could find this little girl
I would rock away her fears
I would hold her very tight and wipe away her tears
I would chase away her nightmares and bring her to the sun
I would say prayers to Heaven so her angels would work overtime

I cry that reality opened her eyes in such an evil way
That she learned the sins of man before she came of age

Innocence Lost
Childhood Shattered
She was left with nightmares and pain
While her mom and dad looked onward
and wondered why she was so full of rage.
