Barely breathing you lie
Left hiding to die
Starved start to a life
No one gave you a name
They guessed your birthday
Who counts your head
Your loss is in my face
Please meet my gaze
I will not be leaving till you hold my hand
I know that it’s the hardest thing to do
I am going nowhere till you understand
That I’m not going to hurt you
Throwing toys to the floor
Few get through the door
Fear bolts your heart
Hands are weapons to you
Touch feels overdue
So rewind to the start
Your arms lie limp at your side
From love denied
How many more like you are still in hiding
How many more like you are just surviving
We need an army
To storm this front
To reach for the broken
And touch the finger of God
