THERE YOU STAND JUST A LITTLE GIRL.

EMBELLISHED BY A SMILE.

WALK WITH ME AND TALK TO ME AND

WE'LL HAVE FUN AWHILE.

I FOLLOWED YOU, I TOOK YOUR HAND,

THOUGH HARDLY COULD I GRASP.

THAT MY FUTURE WOULD BE COMING SOON,

ZOOMING BY TOO FAST.

OH DADDY CAN WE PLAY AWHILE?

I HAVENT GOT THE TIME.

SO OFF I WALKED MY HEAD HUNG LOW.

THERE WAS NO SONG TO RHYME.

AS TIME PASSED BY THE PAIN GREW GREAT

THOUGH I WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE.

MY MOTHER ONLY STOOD IN HORROR'

PROTECTIVE OF HERSELF.

MY FATHER SOON GREW DISTANT THOUGH

SOMEHOW THE LOVE WAS THERE.

HE DIDNT KNOW HOW TO SHOW IT

THOUGH I KNOW SOMEHOW HE CARED.

WHO SAVES GODS LITTLE CHILDREN

WHEN DARKNESS COMES IN FLIGHT

DARKENED STREETS WE WALK ALONE

WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT.
