Somewhere in the dark
A little girl is hiding,
Waiting in the shadows
Quiet as a mouse.
No one there to comfort her,
Alone as can be.
Just a frightened little girl
In an old empty house.
Will someone come and find her
And show her the way?
Help her wake from this nightmare
Into a bright and new day…
But alas she sits and waits –
Poor defenseless child.
Dying on the inside,
Abandoned to the night.
It’s a dreadful scene
And all too familiar,
A child should never have to see
And hear her parents fight.

Abandoned to the night.
It’s a dreadful scene
And all too familiar,
A child should never have to see
And hear her parents fight.
