One day I will be free

I was just a little girl
Tucked up tight in bed
It was the same as every other night
Something I did dread

He came home thumping
And yelling abusive words
My mummy tried to stop him
But thats when she got hurt

I was just a little girl
Tucked up tight in bed
When sometime in the night
My mummy came a-tread

She came and woke me up
From the safety of my bed
She turned to me in tears
And this is what was said

�Come my little angel
Pack up your toys and things
For we will leave this place
Be prepared for greater things
But my darling little angel
Make sure when you leave your bed
You make no noise and are silent in your tread�

That�s when mummy turned
Fear in her eyes
My dad was standing there
Much to her surprise

�What was that you said
Quiet in her tread?
Are my ears deceiving
Did you tell her to leave from bed?�

That�s when he hit her
He hit her hard and rough
He hit her head it was bleeding
He bashed my mummy up

I watched it all from my bed
It was only in the morning
That they found her
and announced 'officially dead'

No one knew officiallyddead
They wouldn�t believe me
For I was would kid

I saw him beat my mummy
I saw him beat her hard
I watched him kill my mummy
As a little girl tucked up tight in bed

Mum is now gone
And I am left
I still lie alone
Freighted in bed
I still hear my daddy come
I turn off my light
And I think of my precious mum
And that night she tried to save my life

I miss her so much
and never will forget
She tried to save me
But now she is lying in a lonely place
Under the earth
With a bashed in face

I hope that my mummy is watching me
For one day I will leave this place
And I hope she will see
One day I will be set free
