She is just a girl

She is just a girl

Holding onto her teddy bear

She is with her back against the wall

The whole world is pushing her underground

.

There’s nothing in that house but the sound

Of steps coming from the hall

.

She is just a girl

And she hugs her bear

She looks up as they stare

But they don’t look straight at her

They want to disappear

But they won’t

They will just keep on going under

As she closes her eyes and wonders

How dreams could heal scars

And calm thunders
