For Every Child
For every child who cries
at night
Alone with shame and pain
and fright
For every child who wants
so much
To only feel a gentle touch
For the beaten child, who
cries in pain
Whose tears run silent,
like the rain
For the child used to satisfy
lust
Who never learns to love
or trust
For the child taken from
her/his home
And made to feel so all
alone
For the child whose home
is just a shell
Where life becomes a living
hell
For the child who smiles
but cannot feel
Because of scars too deep
to heal
For every child who yearns
for love
I hope and pray to God above
To hear your cries and heal
your pain
And give you back your life
again
