» hush little sister «

hush little sister,
please don't cry.
i wish i could be there
to sing you a lullaby.

i can see your arms,
bloodied and bruised.
that's strange little sister,
mine were like that too.

i know you scream
when daddy's there.
hush, little sister,
i know you're scared.

i can see the way
he's hurting you.
i'm sorry little sister,
he did that to me too.

i know that people
ignore what's going on at home.
that makes me angry, little sister
you shouldn't have to be alone.

hey, little sister
you want to know why i'm not there?
it's a sad story, little sister
but people should care.

you see, little sister
one day daddy got high,
you were asleep in your crib,
so you didn't hear me cry.

he screamed at me and
smashed my head against the door.
while you slept, little sister
i died on the floor.

you know, little sister
i don't think i would have died
if someone only bothered
to listen to my cries.

but hush, little sister
daddy's coming home.
quick, get into bed
you don't want him to find you alone.

i'm sorry, little sister
he's in a bad mood,
run while you can.

uh oh, little sister
he's lifting his belt
scream while you can, little sister
call for help.

hush little sister
you don't need to cry
no one can hurt you,
you're in my arms tonight.
