She wants it to stop
_____
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
_____
Tell me when it stops
_____
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
