Little girl terrified
She’d leave her room if only bruises would heal
A home is no place to hide
Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels

Every day’s the sameShe fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
She’ll be just fine, does anyone hear her when she cries

Today she’s turning sixteenEveryone singing, but she can’t seem to smile
They never get past arms length
How could they act like everything is alright?
She’s pulling down her long sleeves
To cover all the memories that scars leave
She says, “… maybe making me bleed will be the answer that could wash the slate clean”

Every day’s the sameShe fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
She’ll be just fine, does anyone hear her when she cries

This is the dark before the dawn
The storm before the peace
Don’t be afraid ‘cause seasons change and
God is watching over youHe hears you
