Years From Now Small child, with your golden hair, what are you doing, hiding under there? You hear the shouting, the screaming won’t cease, you just want to go to bed, but it’s like a disease. You fear that he’ll kill her, so you don’t look away, you pray it’s a nightmare, and tomorrow’s a new day. Take my hand child, get up off the floor, let’s go into your room, and we’ll shut the door. Those tears on your brothers’ face, he can come too, he worries about her, but there’s nothing he can do. Get snug in your bed, and I’ll tell you both a story, about how things will work out, for this little girl and boy. Oh, you’ll have your problems, but all girls and boys do, and I know exactly, what you’re going through. Some day you’ll be older, and you’ll get out of here, you’ll live in a place, that won’t fill you with fear. That’s just the beginning though, things are gonna be tough, just remember that you’ll always have each other, when times get too rough. And that man in your nightmares, will change some of his ways, you’ll still be scarred, but you’ll see better days. Now children listen, listen to me now, they’ll want you to forget it all, but you won’t know how. Don’t listen to them, this is who you are, to ask you to forget such terror, is going too far. Your childhood was stolen, smiles replaced with tears, my dears, I’m so sorry, but you can’t get back those years. Don’t follow their ways, don’t give them the satisfaction, pick yourself up and rise above, that’s your reaction. Ten years from now, we’ll meet again, things will be okay, you’ll see, my friends. You'll see, my friends.
