Child 2

by Zachariah Jones   Sep 14, 2004


I can see the pain in your eyes
As you lie awake every night
Afraid of what the world holds
Yet another day to live in fear
Too much pain that it leaks
Leaking out of your eyes and down
Down your face and drowning
Drowning in an ocean of pain
Trying for another escape outside
Outside the reach of this painful reality
I see the grip of terror on your life
Bruises stain your precious face
If only I could feel what you feel
I’d know what real pain is like
I don’t know what it’s like to bear
Bearing what you’re suffering everyday
I want to take this upon my shoulders
And bear this pain and suffering with you
If I could give my life for your liberation
I would step away and never come back
