Little Katie Lynn
Katie awakes from a horrid dream.
Witnesses her Daddy putting a punch on her mother
She carries her teddy down the hall
Only to see the fresh bruises on her brother.
Katie wipes the tears from her eyes
And kisses her little brothers cheek
She hopes and prays her daddy cleans up
Like he promises to do every week.
She wipes the hairs from her tear stained face
Little Katie, so grown up for her age
Her bright future might not come true
If she can’t survive her Daddy’s drunken rage.
CHORUS
Its nothing but life for a lost little girl
Her beautiful blue eyes are flushed with tears
She sits in a dark closet, hiding from her Daddy
Its the best hiding spot she has found in years.
She is hurting and no one is noticing
She trys to be so strong inside
The marks are hidden under bows and lace
Her little self is the only one to confide.
He comes into her room late at night
Says sorry for hurting little Katie, his entire world.
"Let me make it up to you" as he rubs her back
His sexual fantasies are used on his baby girl.
When he is done performing on his daughter
He whispiers "Its our little secret Katie Lynn"
Katie looks into her Daddy's big eyes
knowing what he just did is a sin.
(CHORUS)
She prays to the Lord at night
“Dear God, if you are real and hear this plea
I ask you never let me awake when I fall asleep.
Let me escape to your world and forever be free.”
The Lord above hears his child’s cry
“My dear child…” he answers without a voice
“You must stay on this earth to make a difference.
Be your own hero" he answers making no noise.
Peace overflows the young girls body
While she lays in her little bed.
She puts all faith, hope and courage into the Lord
“I trust you my Lord. Amen.”
(CHORUS)
