Little Precious

Little Precious...

Little precious waits alone

Tears of fear till he gets home

Chilled deep down to the bone

No food, no friends, no telephone

Suddenly he's at the door

Ugly footsteps on the floor

Wondering what he's got in store

What now, what next, what's my life for?

Another night of silent crying

So ashamed she feels like dying

Break these chains of pain

Don't take it any longer

Break these chains of hate

Little precious you are stronger

Off by heart she knows the plan

When he reaches out his hand

He says, girl don't you understand

I love you more than any man

As she sits there on the stairs

Whispering her silent prayers

She sheds a tear and just despairs

Please God no more this just ain't fair

Lives in fear everyday

But she's too scared to run away

Break these chains of pain

Don't take it any longer

Break these chains of hate

Little precious you are stronger

Didn't know which way to turn

Isolated from the world

Then once she heard a voice

Telling her she had a choice

A woman talking on TV

Saying "Hey you can be free"

You're not alone no way, get up girl

and break those chains

Break these chains of pain

Don't take it any longer

Break these chains of hate

Little precious you are stronger

Break these chains of pain

Don't take it any longer

Break these chains of hate

Little precious you are stronger

Little Precious you are stronger than you know,

you know you're stronger!

Little Precious you are stronger than you know,

you know you're stronger!

Little Precious you are stronger than you know,

you know you're stronger!

Little Precious you are stronger than you know,

you know you're stronger!
