She Cried

                                  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 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 that scars leave

She says, 'Maybe making me bleed

Will be the answer that could wash the slate clean'



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'



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



And 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
