Speak

Speak up little child, for you might not know the water has gone blue and the sky has gone cold. Speak up little child, for you might not know your mama is gone and your papa is home. Speak up little child, for you might not know you have seen death but I still don't. Speak up little child, tell us what you know. You can trust us, where ever you go.
