Between the walls of this place

That I will vehemently call hell

Where children are supposed to be safe

But were told not to tell

The people you're supposed to trust

Who were to walk with god

Were supposed to protect our souls

And spare us from the rod

An abused Childs tears

And a stomach all wrenched in knots

What are the secrets the tears hold

As our innocence slowly rot

 Beat us and hurt us

 Do things you're not to do

 Can anybody hear our cries

 Or are you afraid too?

 You can never imagine

 The hate running  through your veins

 There is never any hope

 As you pray through all your pains

 An abused childs tears

 And a stomach all wrenched in knots

 What are the secrets the tears hold

 As our innocence slowly rot

 We would try to be brave

 And show you we didn't care

 But let me tell you this much

 The torture we did bare

 With clenched teeth and pain

 Eyes tightly shut closed

 At times we wished to die

 Rather than have our souls exposed

An abused childs tears

 And a stomach all wrenched in knots

 What are the secrets the tears hold

 As our innocence slowly rot 

 The secrets and the whispers

 Will forever more be true

 And not believing in us

 Will always be on you

 There is a story to tell

 And now you'll have to listen

 We have finally had enough

 All our tears will shine and glisten

An abused childs tears

 And a stomach all wrenched in knots

 Here are all the secrets our tears hold

 Listen....as our innocence try not to rot
