When She Cries

Little girl terrified

She'd leave her room if only bruises would heal

A home is no place to hide

Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels

Every day's the same

She fights to find her way

She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray

She wonders why, does anyone ever hear her when she cries?

Today she's turning sixteen

Everyone's singing, but she can't seem to smile

They never get past arms length

How could they act like everything is alright?

Pulling down her long sleeves

To cover all the memories the scars leave

She says, "Maybe making me bleed

will be the answer that could wash the slate clean."

This is the dark before the dawn

The storm before the peace

Don't be afraid 'cause seasons change and

God is watching over you

He hears you

Every day's the same

She fights to find her way

She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray

She'll be just fine, 'cause I know he hears her when she cries

Every day's the same

She fights to find her way

She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray

She'll be just fine, 'cause I know he hears her when she cries

She'll be just fine, 'cause I know he hears her when she cries
