Hell Is For Children?

[Wuamei]

They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child

CHORUS:
Because Hell, Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell Hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing

CHORUS
No, Hell is for children

Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children

Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children

Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children

Hell is for children
Hell is for children

"Hell Is for Children" by Pat Benatar

Wow, what a survivor musician Pat is!

Yes, our perps, their friends, and often our own family, not to mention sometimes the legal system
politicians, the media and many others, have played their parts in making our lives as children
even as adults, hell on earth.

For me, it's time to turn the tables!

If anybody belongs in hell it's not us survivors,
it's those perps & all who aided & abated them!

This is probably the third or fourth time this song makes the board. I still listen to it frequently (once a day) and fight back tears every time. I like the "invincible" one better...hehehe

Orodo,

I'm not surprised this has been on the DB before, I should go back & check the old posts sometime if I can find time.

You listen to that once a day? Wow. But I can see that might be good therapy and even good motivation to advocacy.

Yeah I like "invincible" better too. And "Hit Me with Your Best Shot".
