HERE I STAND ALONE,
THESE CITY STREETS I ROAM,
TOO YOUNG WITHOUT A HOME,
I SURVIVE AT NIGHT ALONE,
WITHOUT THE HAND I'VE NOT BEEN SHOWN,
NOW THE STREETS I LEARN TO OWN,
I SIT DOWN AND CLEAR MY EYES,
FROM THE TEARS THAT NEVER DIE,
DEEP INSIDE A CHILD DIES,
I'D RATHER SOMETIMES DIE,
WITHOUT ANYBODY BY MY SIDE,
I SIGH,
A MAN WALKED BY,
WITH DANGER IN HIS EYES,
I CRINGED INSIDE,
NOW I CHANGE MY MIND,
I DON'T WANT TO DIE,
NOT LIKE THIS,
NOT A GOODNIGHT KISS,
NO ONE TO TUCK ME IN,
WHERE DO I BEGIN,
CONSUMED BY SIN,
THAT LIES WITHIN,
WHEN I WAS A CHILD HEARING CHILDREN PLAY,
LOCKED TIGHTLY AWAY FROM THE DAY,
ALL I COULD DO IS PRAY,
THAT THERE MIGHT BE A DAY,
I COULD FINALLY ESCAPE,
THE EVIL IN THIS PLACE,
WHEN HE STRIKES MY FACE.
