Who Will Help?

---

The little girl sits on the stairs,
Hoping it will end
The blue fabric of her dress crumpled in her hands
As she stares on with tears in her eyes

Who will help the little girl?
When daddy throws a punch
Who will help the little girl?
When mommy’s had too much

Her footsteps patter up the stairs
And her door slams shut
She curls into a ball
And rocks herself to sleep

Who will help the little girl?
When daddy throws a punch
Who will help the little girl?
When mommy’s had too much

She peers around the corner
To see if anyone’s there
Hoping against all hopes
That everyone is out

Who will help the little girl?
When daddy throws a punch
Who will help the little girl?
When mommy’s had too much

The floor creaks under her feet
She winces at the sound
Shuffles come from behind a closed door
She knows what to expect

Who will help the little girl?
When daddy throws a punch
Who will help the little girl?
When mommy’s had too much

She rushes towards the door
An attempt to escape
A man comes out of the room
And grabs her by the hair

Who will help the little girl?
When daddy throws a punch
Who will help the little girl?
When mommy’s had too much

She wishes to leave that place
That was once called a home
But they will never let her go
Never let her leave the house

Who will help the little girl?
When daddy throws a punch
Who will help the little girl?
When mommy’s had too much

She always tries to leave
But only ends up hurt
Now she realizes the truth
She will never leave there alive

Who will help the little girl?
When daddy throws a punch
Who will help the little girl?
When mommy’s had too much
