Ignoring the Obvious

Mum and Dad In a world of their own Not thinking of the consequences, that could force us to go Mums mind is set She's telling dad to get But deep down I know That will never happen, I bet Dad raises his fist's Mum crumbles to the floor She begs him to stop But to no avail at all She screams out for help No one seems to hear her call Except for us kids Huddled up in the hall The place has gone quiet There's no sound at all I'm not quite sure If that was mum I heard fall Lights beam through my room window It's the neighbors next door Discussing the altercation, they heard just before I want to shout out But I can't speak at all If only my mum, could just walk through that door It's half past four I've had no sleep at all The neighbors must of heard my mum, screaming at the door Just hoping and praying, they would do something To save us from it all This should not be ignored All they have to do is call And one day Maybe some day It will all be over Once and for all .
