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 (oh) 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? Today she's turning 16 Everyone's singing, but she can't seem to smile (no) 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 that scars leave (oh, oh, oh) She says, "Maybe making me bleed (don't do that) Will 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 (the dark) before the dawn (Before the dawn) the storm before the peace (oh yeah) 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 Every day's the same (oh-oh), she fights to find her way She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray (oh yeah) She'll be just fine (oh yeah) 'Cause I know He hears her when she cries She'll be just fine 'Cause I know He hears her when she cries
