There was a girl
She was just a child
Nothing could bring her to smile
She hid behind her pitiful mask
In her black fleecy armour she's safe
Her eyes were cast down
She couldn't see her own beauty
Her spirit was battered and bruised
She was just a child with no way out
Her world was dark and black
And her eyes were cast down
She was just a child young and full of life
The world could have been at her feet
But life was too hard so the girl shut down
Closed her heart and wept
With her eyes cast down
No child should have to live in this world
One of put me downs
A child should feel valued
Built up not run down
With her eyes lit up
We can't walk by with eyes closed
We've got to join the fight
Show them a love they've never known
Show them that they have a choice
And that they have a voice
