Children On the Battlefied

We had a good start I gave you a heart But daddy takes good hearts And rips them apart He sent us into a storm It was aptly named Mourn We looked so forlorn How could we together form Mommy slipped into a darker place She never laughed and never ate There was nothing good to put on her plate No crumbs even to appreciate And you had no laughter and play After daddy took it all away You kept waiting for a brighter day With you wide eyes on display That was the time I had to say We have nothing left but to pray Still waiting for that brighter day One day he'll pay, oh yes he'll pay
