"The Little Girl Next Door"

There is a little girl next door whose mommy abuses her every day
She's  never allowed to have friends over; no one comes over to play
Her clothes are  so very  ragged  yet when  she passes by she'll  smile
Her eyes tell of hurt yet she glows like angels   sat with her awhile.

And she's so broken; she feels like she doesn't have a single friend
She's  hoping that some day all this beating will come to an end
She feels lhat no one ever notices that she is   black and blue
She tries to let them know but really doesn't know what else to do.

The teachers notice  this  little girl often has a pail white skin
And When they go to touch her , she backs away to hide within
There's  always some markings on her arms and on her tiny face
She's frightened and she shivers whenever  she get up from her place

And she's so broken; she feels like she doesn't have a single friend
She's hoping that some day all this beating will come to an end
She feels lhat no one ever notices that she is   black and blue
She tries to let them know but really doesn't know what else to do.

The little girl talks daily to someone no one else is able to see
She show off her scars and asks "  how much longer will this be?"
When she plays with the person that no one else is able to see
She appears to be like an angel: running around  and carefree.

And she's so broken; she feels like she doesn't have a single friend
She's hoping that some day all this beating will come to an end
She feels lhat no one ever notices that she is   black and blue
She tries to let them know but really doesn't know what else to do.

The government took her away and then brougth her back  again
How many little ones end up with the abusing party they started in
Why is it that our  children are so undervalued in our world today
They have such tiny voices :but have so much they want to say

And she's so broken; she feels like she doesn't have a single friend
She's hoping that some day all this beating will come to an end
She feels lhat no one ever notices that she is   black and blue
She tries to let them know but really doesn't know what else to do.

We need stronger laws to protect the helpless little children in our world
