When She Cries
Little girl terrified
She'd leave her room if only bruises would heal
A home is no place to hide
Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels
Every day's the same
She fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides
And tries to pray
She wonders why
Does anyone ever hear her when she cries
Today she's turning sixteen
Everyone singing, but she can't seem to smile
They never get past arms length
How could they act like everything is alright?
Pulling down her long sleeves
To cover all the memories that scars leave
She says, "maybe making me bleed
Will be the answer that could wash the slate clean"
Every day's the same
She fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides
And tries to pray
She wonders why
Does anyone ever hear her when she cries
This is the dark before the dawn
The storm before the peace
Don't be afraid 'cause seasons change
And God is watching over you
He hears you
Every day's the same
She fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides
And tries to pray
She'll be just fine
'Cause now he hears her when she cries
Every day's the same
She fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides
And tries to pray
She'll be just fine
'Cause now I know he hears her when she cries
She'll be just fine
'Cause now I know he hears her when she cries
