lyrics

I have no voice to cry aloud
but I have a silent scream
no arms of mine fend off the blows
my eyes remain unseen

All who are
were once as I am
And as all will be
I will be
But I'll never draw breath
never run
never dance
never see the light fade from your eyes….

Blindly the trigger is pulled
for I'm a girl I’m not a boy
Blindly the trigger is pulled
like I'm some discarded toy

I have not the means
to run far away
no way to escape this pain
but I feel
Oh, I feel it
if you would but watch
as I writhe my last moments away

Freedom of choice
is the mantra today
but where is my choice
my vote
my voice
Unseen and unheard I will go to my grave
While debates about life
Will do nothing to save me
