Young Mother Why

Young mother with pain in your eyes
why do you cry 
and so she replied 
because they lie
Young mother with tears rolling down your face
why do they lie and make your name a disgrace
She said I dont know but I have nothing to hide
Young mother with truth in your heart
why would they do this to you
and she did not reply
Young mother why do you not reply
and so she says 
Because I dont understand how anyone could be so corrupt
I did none of the things  that they said 
and now I must suffer
and I must feel dead
Young mother ill be your friend
