The child can only hide herself away
Cowering to her room as her father sips at yet another beer
Binge drinking nearly everyday
Her family faces days filled with only misery and fear
And that poor little girl, forced to see him drunkenly abuse his wife
Tries to escape, but it's to no use
As she cries on the school rooftop, thinking of throwing away her life
Crying at the haunting words of her bullies' abuse
The little girl faces her cruelly set fate
And as years go by she sees it gets better slowly
A day at a time she stays strong and fights the world's hate
And she tells herself that it'll be okay, her voice droning on lowly
