Don'T Lie To Me
Avala, Avala, Avala,
You say your name is Avala.
Open your eyes child.
Don't lie to me!
Your name is not Avala
And I know that.
When you speak you words to me
how do you feel?
Happy? Angry? Sad?
Do you feel nothing?
Don't lie to me!
Or I will not believe you when you tell the truth.
You now that.
So what is your name child?
Come here, and tell me.
I don't want to hurt you
But please don't lie to me!
Your name, what is it?
You don't know?
Well what would you like it to be?
Avala?
Ok.
Come on,
let's find you a new home.
