How could you stand and watch a child crying 
when inside its only hope is dying 
how could you deliver such a punishing blow
rejecting the love that they still want to show

When is it right to hurt and decieve 
a poor innocent child clinging tight to your sleeve
when is it right to be mad and unkind 
to the people you love and the person inside

but all is not lost 
theres a flicker of hope
without intense intoxication 
the hurting elopes.
