I am a Girl, I am a Boy

I am the girl with no eyes to peek,
The girl with no lips to speak,
I have a secret I must hide,
But it's going on inside,
My body is not my own,
At night I'm not alone,
My dad is a monster who doesn't care,
This secret alone I must bare...

I am the boy with no eyes to peek,
The boy with no lips to speak,
I have a secret I must hide,
But it's going on inside,
My parents continue to scream and fight,
Giving me nightmares that'll keep me from sleep tonight,
My mommy says she's going to leave,
She's gonna keep me behind, this I sadly believe...

I am the mother with no eyes to peek,
The mother with no lips to speak,
I have a secret I must hide,
But it's going on inside,
I love my husband more than words can say,
But I can't seem to find the strength to stay,
My kids are wonderful and loving to me,
But the happiness inside of me, is something I can't see...

I am the father with no eyes to peek,
The father with no lips to speak,
I have a secret I must hide,
But it's going on inside,
I don't feel any respect, and no one will understand,
If I find my comfort holding some one else's hand,
I don't wanna break any hearts, but I feel this is the end,
I no longer wish-or think I can-continue to pretend...

We are the world with no eyes to peek,
The world with no lips to speak,
We all have little secrets we must hide,
But they're all going on inside,
If we work in such a way,
That we can all find the comfort to say,
Exactly what we want, and exactly what we need,
Then maybe it'll help the secret lives we lead...
