She was 5 when she heard the gunshots at her door

Inside a cupboard, she curled on the floor

Covered her ears as she shut her eyes

The army came in, shattering her night

She heard the slam at the door

She trembled in silence, wanting no more

She saw her mom being dragged away

She closed her eyes, yet it won't go away

She's attending the cremation of her own

Where the fire burns and she’s all alone

She screams so loud

Yet her mouth won't make a sound.

She is a dead soul with no light

Wandering in the graveyard in the night

Kneeling before her father’s stone

Begging him to take her along

She cried aloud and fell apart

Drenched in tears that's flown from her heart

She curled back to the cupboard where her life is

She closed her eyes for her pain to ease

She hears them coming, the floor creaks

Her heart sinks!

They opened the door and found her lying

Still and silent where no one’s crying

She’s lying, lying unconscious as she freed herself from fear

She’s smiling softly through her tears

Now she is happy cause she can meet her dear

She is happy cause she can meet her dear
