Lyrics
life has failed u.
you were such a beautiful child, slowly unfolding
you were such a beautiful child, gradually evolving
life has failed u.
you should have been protected
you should have been safe from harm
you should have been protected
there should have been some kind of alarm
there is so much complication in your life
life has failed u.
arms that should have held you
should not do harm
hands that should have loved you
should not do harm
now you're stronger, no-one can take that away
now you're stronger, but it's been such a long, long way
you were such a beautiful child, slowly unfolding
you were such a beautiful child, gradually evolving
you should have been protected
you should have been protected
