Daddy dear.....

She wakes with pain in her body
and stains on her skirt
she holds on to whats left
and finds her strength
she winds down the forest path
that leads her home

she slips into her house
unseen and unheard
goes to her room to lay in her sheets
wishing and praying
that God would turn this
into a dream

she knows what happened
the word echos in her head
thats when reality sinks in

the first tear drops slowly
then 2
then 3
until all she can do is scream

running in comes daddy
terrified by the banshee cry

he holds her tight
then beings to hum
that o so familiar song

yes daddy dear
sing to your baby...
hum that honey lullaby

we all wish it were that simple
just sing and sing
so she can enter her dreams
and forget this cruel world
and her true identity

she cries and cries
each swollen tear
falls harder and harder

poor daddy dear...
doesn't know what to do
he's confused
his lips choose not to work
he cant talk or speak

then quick as a light
daddy dear can see clear
that his worse nightmare

has entered his reality...
