Song for Jayla

Song for Jayla and all little girls who's dreams are broken. Only ten is she, Assailable as a child can be. Her mind will drift with worry, There's a tear in her eyes Her dreams are not encouraged by a mother whos broke inside, That's her life. The picture that she draws, A shadowed image of her life. The tears on the page, Tells of suffering and strife. A little girl with broken dreams She doesn't have the means, to run and hide. BRIDGE: Where will she be in time What is her destiny, Who will release her From this tragic life she sees. If only for an angel she'll escape her way To a happier life. 3rd verse: Only 10 is she Vulnerable as a child can be. One day she'll grow to wonder Why her life is so undone. She'll pick up the pieces Or she'll always be on the run, But that's her life... But that's her life..fade.....
