Doesn't come down when she calls "It's time for breakfast." Mama can't get down those halls Fast enough to see Glass is sprayed across the floor From the broken window She can't breathe anymore Can't deny what we know Someone broke a window and kidnapped her child. She wasn't fast enough to save her child. When you have children, they are your life. when you life is taken from you, the unbelievable has happened and the shock does actually take your breath away. You can't catch your breath. & your mind doesn't want you to really believe, what has just happened. It's unfathomable. They're gonna find you, just believe You're not a person; you're a disease That is pretty clear I think All these lives that you've been taking Deep inside, my heart is breaking Talking in general to all kidnappers, all the children you've taking and all the hearts you have broken with your crime. Broken homes from separation Don't you know it's violation? Broken homes since the child is gone. Don't these people understand the horror of their crime. It's so wrong, but you'll see Never gonna let you take my world from me The world outside these walls may know you're breathing But you ain't comin' in Someone out in the world knows who and what you are but your not getting in to hurt my family Basically telling the kidnappers, that he is going to protect his family and there is no way the kidnapper can take his family (his world) away from him. Posters hung on building walls Of missing faces Months go by without the calls The clues, or traces Pretty clear - poster of kidnapped children. The worst part is going day after day not hearing any news about your child. Shed the light on all the ones who never thought they would become A father, mother, asking why this world can be so cold Shed the light - give some information to the parents about their child. The worst part is not knowing. The second line is clear. Doesn't come down when she calls "It's time for breakfast." The memories begin to fall She asks, "When will I be free?" It's breakfast time and she remembers calling her child to breakfast. Maybe actually thinking of calling her down until she remembers (it can really happen when someone has lost someone, it did to me) it's like they forget their loved one is dead. You start thinking as if they are still alive. Then she is confronted with reality and wonders when she will be able to put this behind her. However she never will until she knows what happened to her child. The world outside these walls may know you're breathing But you ain't comin' in Someone out in the world knows who and what you are but your not getting in, to hurt my family. |
