Forgotten Souls

A mother's love, close enough to touch

A false front was all it was

A passion so fake, controlled by the play

On the darkest of days, the daughter was sold away

A worn heart numb to the pain

The hopeless tears fall from her face

Forgotten soul born in a grave

Fifteen years locked in a cage

Our daughters are too scared to stop them

Our sons, what have we taught them?

Have we really strayed this far from love?

Her body enslaved inocent and under age

She hopes and she prays for someone to take her away

Holding her breath waiting to drown

She's in over her head

The world is spinning while she is missing from it

A worn heart numb to the pain

The hopeless tears fall from her face

Forgotten soul born in a grave

Fifteen years locked in a cage

Our daughters are too scared to stop them

Our sons, what have we taught them?

Have we really strayed this far from love?

No one to even say goodbye

She sees no value in her life

This is not the rise and the fall of the tide

A pain in the chest and two watering eyes

Have we really strayed this far from love?
