SHADOWS OF NIGHT
Alone in the night they cry out in fear
Ashamed and abused they hide to disappear,
A living hell that binds them and squeezes them tight
These are the children of the shadows of night.
Feel, do you feel pain for all children,
That's why we must fight
And stand up for their rights,
Feel, do you feel pain for all children,
We must release them and save them
From the shadows of night.
Bruised and alone to face so much abuse
Their throats are squeezed tight, as if in a noose,
Silenced from fear, the scars tell it all
No-where to run, no-one to call.
Feel, do you feel pain for all children,
That's why we must fight
And stand up for their rights,
Feel, do you feel pain for all children,
We must release them and save them
From the shadows of night.
Monsters who savagely rape for their pleasure
Taking the innocence away from our treasures,
Our children can't fight, so many do die
So many tears in our eyes, oh how we do cry.
Feel, do you feel pain for all children,
That's why we must fight
And stand up for their rights,
Feel, do you feel pain for all children
We must release them and save them
From the shadows of night.
Shackled and bound their minds block it away
To try and escape the torturous days,
Their bodies are his, to do as he pleases
Spreads open their legs, as he soon releases.
Feel, do you feel pain for all children,
That's why we must fight
And stand up for their rights,
Feel, do you feel pain for all children,
We must release them and save them
From the shadows of night.
We can't sweep it away or pretend it's not there
Must open our eyes, and show them we care,
Children need to be loved, safe and protected
With God's help we have all been selected.
Feel, do you feel pain for all children,
That's why we must fight
And stand up for their rights,
Feel, do you feel pain for all children,
We must release them and save them
From the shadows of night.
Alone in the night they cry out in fear
Ashamed and abused, they hide to disappear,
A living hell that binds them and squeezes them tight
These are the children of the shadows of night.
Feel, do you feel pain for all children
That's why we must fight
And stand up for their rights
Feel, do you feel pain for all children,
We must release them and save them
From the shadows of night.

You do have a way with words. I could see these words as a song calling attention to the need to stop child abuse. Thank you for sharing these words. You have more courage and strength than you know.
Such powerful words, Mary. There are parts of this that make me feel so uncomfortable because I know that some of the things that have happened to me, I cannot remember, but part of me is recognising it in what you say - thank you.
