When She Cries

Little girl terrified

She'd leave her room if only bruises would heal

A home is no place to hide

Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels

Every day's the same, she fights to find her way

She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray

She wonders why

Does anyone ever hear her when she cries? (Yeah, yeah)

Today she's turnin' sixteen

Everyone's singing but she can't seem to smile

They never get past arm's length

How could they act like everything is alright? (Oh, no, no)

Pulling down her long sleeves (Oh, oh, oh)

To cover all the memories the scars leave (Oh, oh, oh)

She says, "Maybe making me bleed

Would be the answer that could wash the slate clean"

(Every day)

Every day's the same, she fights to find her way

She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray

She wonders why

Does anyone ever hear her when she cries?

This is the dark before the dawn (The dark before the dawn)

The storm before the peace (Hey)

Don't be afraid 'cause seasons change

And God is watching over you

He hears you

Every day's the same, she fights to find her way

She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray

She'll be just fine

'Cause I know He hears her when she cries (Yeah)

Every day's the same, she fights to find her way (Oh)

She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray (Oh, yeah)

She'll be just fine (Hey, yeah)

'Cause I know He hears her when she cries (Yeah)

She'll be just fine

'Cause I know He hears her when she cries
