she sits in a dark room waiting for her chance to play i locked her up because it hurt too much to watch her hope and dream all day she calls my name softly like she knows me so well i shut her out because she does and i can’t stand that fact one day i’ll come back to her play and jump and sing with her i swear i will be able to take care of us like others couldn’t, didn’t when we were young she’ll wait for me forever if she has to i pray she won’t have to do that she deserves more than anyone could give i wish the me now could nurture us like she needs
