The Child In Me, Ptsd
I see the eyes of a small lost child
Living within my mind
Been there so long she's now living wild
Hiding from cruel and unkind
She looks out from behind my eyes
Searching for happy years
But they're all gone flown to the skies
All's left is heartache and tears
I hear the voice of a small lost child
Echoing round me now
There's no way out, she's far too wild
Hush child find sleep somehow
Chasing good thoughts so far away
For a glimpse to show her fun
But the moments are brief, they won't stay
Leaving her the lonely one
.
Tonight will she cry...
Tonight will she scream ...
Tonight, tonight, perhaps she will dream ...
.
There's little hope for my small lost child
Memories don't go back there
She can't be tamed will always be wild
So I keep her in my care
I see the eyes of a small lost child
Living deep in my mind
Been there so long she's now living wild
Hiding from cruel and unkind
.
Tonight will she cry ...
Tonight will she scream ...
Tonight, tonight, perhaps she will dream ...
.
She's the child in me that should have been
But she never was, nor could ever have been
Now she's deep inside and will never be seen
For she saw what no child should ever have seen
.
Tonight will she cry ...
Tonight will she scream ...
Tonight, tonight, perhaps she will dream ...
