She never got to find out what’s really outside
and take that long, winding ride
a tight rope she walked
alligators below
a little girl, she couldn't misstep
The smile would be wiped from her face
if she stepped to the wrong place
A small box
She never fit in
so much sin
she was told bad
it made her sad
when you are unseen
that is so mean
“Talk to the man in white!”
“He will tell you what’s right!”
send her to the wolf that preys on sheep
There are secrets you must keep
a dirty old man
you tempted him
he would remind you of your sin
because of your beauty
you could never win
he would remind you the judgement above
when you were young and in love
she is older now
she made the vow
there isn’t much more to say
could it be another way?
Oh man, so many can relate to this. It just breaks my heart for us.
Very powerful. Awful what some people do in the name of “God”. Have you heard this song? Reminds me of. It.
