Voice To Victims Of Abuse

Is it cold there,
Hiding in your shell?
Does it feel like
He’s got you under his spell?

Do you feel trapped?
And do you feel alone?
Persecuted and betrayed
In your own home …

There’s no easy answers
To what you’re going through
But please don’t cry, baby girl
We’re all here to help you

I know he left scars
That human eyes don’t see
I know he has you so trapped
You’d swear you’ll never be free

I heard so many tales
Of these things before
And I wish there was a way we could
Make them not happen anymore

But I’m not God, baby girl
I’m someone just like you
Someone feeling hurt and used
Thinking they can’t get through

You may scream nights away
May even ache to die
But baby girl I’ve been there, too
But time will go by

And though it hurts right now
Time eases the pain slowly
I’ve never met you, but you should know
That one day, you will be free.
