"A Duet by Elvis Proctor & Barbara Tremblay Cipak": This is the second song we've written together. Our last song was a light topic, fun in nature, so this time we decided to tackle a sad, serious and unfortunately all too real subject - child abuse. If we could keep all the children safe and warm, I know most of us would do so in a heartbeat. On a side note, this is not based on a true story or from any or our own personal perspective's, and the character "Lorrie", is fictitious for this song. GOD'S PRINCESS (VERSE 1) A pattern of leaves cover the sidewalk Which is layered in scribbled chalk A lonely bicycle lies quietly in the yard Looking at that place can be quite hard We've all heard the terrible sad stories But how come no-one heard little Lorrie (CHORUS) She cries tears in her darkened room cuddled up with her teddy bear does anyone even know she's there starring in her own nightmare, It can't be right to be scared like this So she pretends she's God's Princess held in his arms safe for the night with his love, at peace she's tucked in tight, (VERSE 2) In the living room, a family portrait The air it hangs heavy, pain and hurt On the wall, a childs praying hands Can't beleive no one made a stand A neighborhood of tightly shut eyes In the dead of night, you still hear cries (CHORUS) She cries tears in her darkened room cuddled up with her teddy bear does anyone even know she's there starring in her own nightmare, It can't be right to be scared like this So she pretends she's God's Princess held in his arms safe for the night with his love, at peace she's tucked in tight (BRIDGE/VERSE to FINAL CHORUS) A childhood stolen, entirely missed what will happen to God's Princess will she go home before she's grown or be saved from being alone... by living angels who wipe her tears as she cries in her darkened room someone to be there to erase her fears rescuing her from this nightmare... ....but today she still cries, and it's not right to be scared like this So she pretends she's God's Princess held in his arms safe for the night with his love and at peace for one minute she's alright, until daylight... will she go home before she's grown or be saved from being alone, By Elvis Proctor & Barbara Tremblay Cipak |
