Penetrating my mind, this violence aches
And there's nothing I can do.
Feeling the stab of the vicious minds work
And I cannot speak up.
Not able to save the innocent lives
As I am just a teen.
Witnessing cruelty on a scale so grand
All I can do is mourn.
Seeing the torture, the tears in their lives
And I just turn away.
Not able to save the innocent lives
As I am a mother of 3.
Hearing destruction in their pitiful cries
I try to block them out.
seeing once more the grief that they share
And I switch it off.
Not able to save the innocent lives
As I am old, no one listens to me.
Not able to save the innocent lives
As I was just a teen.
Still choosing to look away
When I was a mother of 3.
Giving up hope that I had a voice
As I was old, no one listens to me.
Now that I suffer, at the hands of the cruel,
No one will rescue me.
