[ Bruises upon her fair skin ]

Bruises upon her fair skin
Tainted,scarred and torn
She cries herself to sleep
As her life is so forlorn

She just keeps it in
Secretly cursing her fate
This has got to stop
Before it's too late

Her smile completely fades
Nowhere to hide or run
One minute he's choking her
Then he points to her a gun

Everytime he's there
She's shivering in fright
Praying to the Lord above
That she'll make it through the night

Her little kid,on the corner
Skin covered with black and blue
She wraps her arms around her
There is nothing else she could do

Then one dreary night
He gave one final threat
Poured gasoline on her
As she awaits her death

The Lord above was watching
Liquid got in his eyes
She got away so quickly
Everyone could hear her cries

He left without a word
Not uttering a goodbye
All those sweet memories with him
Was a display,illusion..a lie

Now that she is free
He wants her to come back
So he could make up
For all the things he lacked

His kid won't even look at him
He was now disowned
She has learned to be strong
Her heart has turned to stone
