Break the Silence In Memory of Battered Women

2 by 4, murder was written on the door Her blood was spilled on the floor Jesus I can not read any more These stories can no longer be ignored There should be tighter laws Too many victims heading to the cemetery floor Abuse should not be accepted or Ignored Woman of sorrow Time to break your silence Blow the whistle on the cane Don't stay silent and harbor the pain Loose the chain and remove the stain Tell yourself, you are created to gain In this life chose to break free from the chain Learn to live and aim You can conqueror the cane You can overcome the pain You will not die or go insane Your life will not be in vain Now stand up and reveal his or her name.
