Lonly Life
What more can you do?
Where would you go?
How wold you live
Without no one near?
i once lived in a peaceful home
the one where love is always fair
no one fights
no one screams
but that all changed when daddy screamed
'i hate you'
mommy cried
sissy cry
Johnny whimpered
i survived
daddy left two days from then
mommy cry so much more
sitting home
waiting for his return
and then a thought can to mind
'where would he go?
what would he do?
how would he live without mommy so near?
two weeks have passed and daddy's back
but nothing now is like back then
daddy yells and mommy cries
sissy cries and Johnny dies
and at his funeral my mommy weeps
she came to see dear Johnny sleep
'never again to see your face
never again to hold you close
now i know how bad you felt
when daddy came and beat you dead'
mommy cry herself to bed that night
sissy wept in the quiet night
daddy sits and wonders why
why he killed poor Johnny that night
a year has passed and nothing changed
mommy still with teary eyes
walks around sis's bed at night
'if you die i will not live
without you near i wont forgive'
mommy cried
sissy cried
Johnny died
daddy byed
two weeks after
daddy left
he comes back at take a rest
mommy weeps so much more
sissy with startled eyes
cries now cause mommy yelled
that night my mommy yelled
i wept for the first night yet
daddy ran away
and never did i even pray
for all i knew daddy lied
told us once he'd be forever
now i know that daddy's mean
because that night mommy died
sis and i
we packed our things
sneaking out to not be seen
the once good daddy drunk again
you never know if you fight for life
and as we walk around the block we hear his voice calling out
'COME BACK. YOU CAN ONT HIDE
I'M YOUR DADDY FOR ALL TIMES
COME ON BACK
YOU'LL DIE OUT THERE
COME OR ELSE I'LL KILL YOU THERE'
and with great fear we start to run
never knowing what may come
and now today
sis and i
we live together
and never lie
but at some times we walked in fear
for we still know daddy's near
it doesn't matter anymore
as long and i have my sister near
