Innocence Defiled

Silence has new meaning When you're sittting idly bye Watching someone hurt a child While listening to them cry You say it doesn't involve you That's why you hold your tongue Never trying to protect them once While they're hurting one so young You keep making up excuses But how do you sleep at night? Knowing that in another room A child sleeps with the light Too scared to close their eyes They're too afraid to sleep Not knowing if they'll wake tomorrow Praying, Lord their souls to keep Silence can be deafening Especially the screams of a child How can you look in the mirror While innocence is being defiled
