I grew up living on stories and lullabies
Believing they were real is my confession
Wishing someday I could bring them to life
Threw me straight into my depression
The world suddenly backed up on me
I lowered my head and continued on
I saw some good inside this Hell
Then soon realized it was gone
There was nothing left I had to lose
And my life was all regret
I was only a child in strife
Someone the world would soon forget
Then my soul was lifted up
I soon stood next to the world above
I found I had something special here
I had family and friends who showed me I was loved
And still today, I look back
And these hurt children, I can't help but see
Because not long ago, I felt their pain
Back then the Hell also held me
I still care for the prisoners
And I feel with them their pain
How all the others refuse to listen
And joke and scoff for social gain
There is some hatred I'll always feel
For those cruel "people" who will not listen
To all those poor souls locked inside
Those children who are missing
How could the world be so heartless
To people they could be one day?
Whose treasures and dreams and hopes were stolen?
Those children who wanted to stay?
Just like the angel who saved my life
I'll help these children who need to live
Leading them out of where they are
Teaching them to breathe again...
