A mother's love, close enough to touch A false front was all it was A pa**ion so fake, controlled by the plague On the darkest of days, a daughter was sold away A worn heart numb to the pain The hopeless years fall from her face Forgotten soul, born in a grave Fifteen years locked in a cage Our daughters are too scared to stop them Our sons, what have we taught them? Have we really strayed this far from love? Her body enslaved, innocent and underage She hopes and she prays for someone to take her away Holding her breath, waiting to drown She's in over her head The world is spinning while she is missing from it A worn heart numb to the pain The hopeless years fall from her face Forgotten soul, born in a grave Fifteen years locked in a cage Our daughters are too scared to stop them Our sons, what have we taught them? Have we really strayed this far from love? No one to even say goodbye She sees no value in her life This is not the rise and the fall of the tide A pain in the chest and two watering eyes Have we really strayed this far from love?
