Story Behind The Song
Life experience- not abuse- and a memory of the feelings I had when listening to a popular song many yeas ago. Children are innocent victims and that makes me angry. Sadness comes from the fact that his evil exists and continues. I hope that if someone hears this they will speak out and the cycle will be broken. Universal cure may not be possible, but 1 child that no longer suffers is a reward beyond value. Children are precious like time, we have to realize that before they are gone.
Song Description
Child abuse hurts. An attempt to be a voice for those who cannot speak or afraid of speaking. Exposing the torment and helplessness felt by the abused. Empowering those who want nothing more than happiness and love.

Lyrics
Crippled by fear
She swallows her tears
Cries and tries to hold on
Hope nearly gone
String on her finger
Reminds her of a dream
Smiles love sunny days
The world she lives in returns again she trembles and prays
Chorus
Don't let them hurt me
Please make it end
World don't see
What's happening to me
I've got nowhere to hide
Afraid all the time
No one will listen
I can only talk to the wind
Verse
Clothes are worn
Same ones every day
Hide the scars of a secret storm
She looks away
Hopes no one sees the shame
Voice in her head cries out
I'm tired and afraid
Won't you help me before it's too late
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Night after night there's a little one
Wonderin' if better days will come
Stares out the window
Cries on her pillow
Repeat Chorus
Talk to the wind
