Save Me

Please can’t you see? When you’re looking at me That I need love I need a family Please don’t forget me Out on the street I need a home Someone I can greet My last home wasn’t happy It wasn’t okay My owner beat me And told me to stay Despite my mean treatment I did as I was told But the mean man wouldn’t feed me He left me out in the cold Tied with a chain Very close to a tree There was no way I could ever Escape and get free Days would go by With not one kind word Hate and resentment Was all that was heard Please someone save me From this horrible place I’m running out of time My life is a race One last time I finally break free But the chain that had bound me Was then turned on me He beat me so hard I couldn’t hold on My life beat out of me Until I was gone No more pain A better place ahead Never thought it would be Because I was dead Never mistreat Hate and abuse Always have a heart And care what you do Please be kind Remember that I was someone too You really wouldn’t want the same thing To happen to you
