Abandoned

Take me out of this cursed land Mom, I'm too tired to go on The only thing that keeps me sane Is the sweet thought of going home You told me you'd be back Ma, You promised it was just a day But these guys wont believe me now, They push me on my knees, I pray I cry, I weep, they hurt me more They think I'm weak, but they don't know These wounds of flesh won't hurt for long With every pain, I'm only strong So it happens, I plan to run Come tomorrow, I will be free Nothing, can stop me now I will be free, I will be free Voices in my head they say They believe I'm an abondoned child Was I such a shame to you That you left me alone, your only child? Eleven years is a long time Jane I'm too tired, I wanna leave Hey Ma, you remember Jane? Shes the reason you abandoned me! No worries Ma, I forgive you now I love you too much to hate you I know you had some reason Yes Ma, I forgive you I'm waiting, When the lights go off I'll run, I'll be free again Wait for me when the sun goes down I'll be back, We'll be one again So it happens, I plan to run From this wretched place, I will be free Nothing, can stop me now I will be free, I will be free
