Child in silence - I've seen the way the tears

Run down your face

Child of violence - I know that you

Dying in this place

Child without mercy - they've haunted you with

Whispers in the dark

Child in exile--they violate and stain you

With their mark

Child - this silent seduction enrages me

Child - the fatal assassin's black eyes will bleed

Child in silence, I know who you are

Child, you're lost and alone in the dark

Child, I know that you're hurting inside

Child, I've seen your affections denied

Child in turmoil, I know where you've been

Child in darkness, I've seen what you've seen

In the night, in this fear of letting go of the light

I hear you calling me home

Child - no one shall covet your dreams tonight

Child - the tyrant will cry in the streams of light

Child in silence, I have seen your dreams

Child in darkness, I've heard when you scream in the night

In this fear of letting go, in the light

I'll be standing there to hold you
