Mommy cries, mommy runs, mommy hides
So many fights every time
Daddy comes home drunk and hits again
Every day he does it again
All day screaming and pulling, about us, about money, about sex
Mommy gets another big black eye
Daddy's sorry, then mommy's angry again
Does it have to be that we
Living with mom, living with dad
When does the pain go away?
To a place far from here
A place where daddy doesn't have to hit mommy anymore
And maybe uncle will really never touch me again
And touches what she doesn't want
And nobody's home and he's on drugs and pills
Every time till he does it again
Uncle comes to visit again
He walks up to me and does dirty again
If only mommy knew what uncle does to her
She leaves me alone with him here early in the morning
Doesn't anybody see that I'm in pain
God take me away to a place far from here
A place where daddy and mommy don't have to hit anymore
And maybe uncle will really never touch me again
And I can't take it anymore
Mommy must wander, Mommy must hide
Because I want to leave here, I want out
What's eating me inside
Away from the pain, I want away from this life
To a place far from here
A place where daddy doesn't have to hit mommy anymore
And maybe uncle will really never touch me again
God take me away to a place far from here
A place where daddy doesn't have to hit mommy anymore
And maybe uncle will really never touch me again
