Sad Children

Mothers holding their babies trying to hide the bruises that show
Alcoholic fathers creating broken homes

Single mums working three jobs just to pay the bills
Put some food on the table and buy non-prescription pills

Trying to protect the children from the ugly things they face
Closing the doors as voilence occurs - a regular disgrace

What is this world coming to and where will the children go?
They have noone left to talk to and the pain inside them grows

The memories remain but the pain will never fade
Where's that smile gone that was once upon their face?
