A Woman's dream — Hope
A woman lives in fear, behind four walls,
She's not afraid of strangers or people who call.
She lives in fear of the man she loves,
Her only hope is God above.
She's not afraid of strangers or people who call.
She lives in fear of the man she loves,
Her only hope is God above.
Her children scream - one more attack.
They run to their rooms - they don't look back.
A black eye again, a bruise here and there,
But the mental scars are the hardest to bear.
They run to their rooms - they don't look back.
A black eye again, a bruise here and there,
But the mental scars are the hardest to bear.
She cannot run, she cannot hide, He's always there right by her side.
She dare not sleep, she dare not cry,
He says he's sorry - another lie.
In dreams she walks all on her own,
With happy kids, a peaceful home. To break away - that's what she needs.
But where to go? There's kids to feed.
Can she manage with kids in tow?
One more beating. It's time to go.
She calls the cops - can't take any more.
She's finally safe - behind a locked door.
One more beating. It's time to go.
She calls the cops - can't take any more.
She's finally safe - behind a locked door.
The refuge is just what it says,
With restful nights and peaceful days.
The man she loved, now she hates.
No more smashed cups or broken plates
With restful nights and peaceful days.
The man she loved, now she hates.
No more smashed cups or broken plates
They find her a home away from him -
Now her kids can dance and sing.
Now her kids can dance and sing.
