Story Behind The Song

Trying to give a voice those who cannot or dare not speak out. Hoping the song will trigger action by witnesses and reassurance that someone knows this is wrong, the irreparable harm must be stopped.

Song Description

Story of a little one- a girl- living in a world where abuse happens every day. Her plight personified and the outreach to make the hurt stop to everyone and anyone real or ethereal. Almost a prayer. Sadly there is no answer unless those hearing this song take action to eliminate this senseless and heinous scourge affecting innocent victims. I was told the subject of this song could be the sister to Suzanne Vega's Luka.

Lyrics

"Talk to the wind"

Crippled by fear

She swallows her tears

Cries and tries to hold on

Hope nearly gone

String on her finger

Reminds her of a dream

Smiles love sunny days

The world she lives in returns again she trembles and prays



Chorus

Don't let them hurt me

Please make it end

World don't see

What's happening to me

I've got nowhere to hide

Afraid all the time

No one will listen

I can only talk to the wind


Verse

Clothes are worn

Same ones every day

Hide the scars of a secret storm

She looks away

Hopes no one sees the shame

Voice in her head cries out

I'm tired and afraid

Won't you help me before it's too late



Repeat Chorus



Bridge

Night after night there's a little one

Wonderin' if better days will come

Stares out the window

Cries on her pillow


Repeat Chorus
