It's 4 o'clock in the morning and I'm too afraid to sleep
|
I never know when I'll hear him sneak through my door
|
Been paying me little visits for more than a year now
|
If I could only fight back, I wouldn't take any more
|
|
So who speaks for me when I'm too young to fight?
|
Who speaks for me in the black of the night?
|
Who speaks for me?
|
|
Last kid off the bus, I'm standing in the driveway
|
Still feeling the sting from yesterday's bruise
|
The smell of whiskey and smoke spilling out the doorway
|
Step inside or run away, I'm not old enough to choose
|
|
So who speaks for me when I'm too young to fight?
|
Who speaks for me? Who's gonna make this right?
|
Who speaks for me?
|
|
You can't pretend that you don't know me
|
I am the kid next door
|
The quiet one you never speak to
|
The problem you ignore
|
|
3 o'clock in the morning, I'm sitting in the driveway
|
Momma told me to run but I only got this far
|
I heard the screams and the shots, I heard my momma crying
|
Now they're taking her away in a black and white care
|
|
So who speaks for me when I'm too young to fight?
|
Who speaks for me in the middle of the night?
|
Who speaks for me?
|
|
Who's gonna make this right?
|
Who speaks for me? 'Cause I'm too young to fight
|
Who speaks for me?
|
Who speaks for me?
|
Somebody speak for me 'cause I'm too young to fight
|
Who's gonna speak for me?
|
Who's gonna make it right?
