The Child Within
THE CHILD IN ME CRIES OUT~
with such pain and confusion
I spank her~ send her to bed
LEAVE ME ALONE~
THE CHILD IN ME CRIES OUT~
asking for comfort and consoling
Stop~ I have no time for you
LEAVE ME ALONE~
THE CHILD IN ME CRIES OUT~
with complete anguish
Go Away~ I am fixing my Life
LEAVE ME ALONE~
THE. CHILD. IN. ME. CRIES. OUT~
I LISTEN………
