If Only They Knew

[jute86]

I can't really give much of a description for this one...just looking for any input you can give...

If Only They Knew

Traffic down on Broadway

A little girl without a cause

A faithless effort to cross some roads

A desperate hope to erase what she saw

Two rage-filled parents

And a frame on the wall

Some shattered glass

And a 911 call

[CHORUS]

And she walks on to nowhere

To a town without a name

To a place where she?s wanted

And where nothing?s the same

To a day without mommy

And a night without dad

To a life without screaming

To much more than she?s had

For a day with no black

And a night with no blue

Sometimes there?s no telling

What this little girl might do

Oh, if they only knew

A little sidewalk wanderer

A darkened city street

Past blankets over boxes

By a faded old car seat

She cries herself to sleep

An unknown orphan all alone

She spends a black night weeping

With nowhere to call home

[CHORUS]

And she walks on to nowhere

To a town without a name

To a place where she?s wanted

And where nothing?s the same

To a day without mommy

And a night without dad

To a life without screaming

To much more than she?s had

For a day with no black

And a night with no blue

Sometimes there?s no telling

What this little girl might do

Oh, if they only knew

She just wants a hand

To hold when she cries

She just wants a voice

To sing her good night

And for a minute or two

Who knows what she?d do

Oh, if only they knew

Oh jute this is really good. As a song I could really see it country, with a couple changes. This is excellent.

Heck leave it alone. This is a good song just as it is!

[Jenny]

It's beautiful, Laura. That's all I can say.

[TrampledUnderFoot]

I really enjoyed that...and windy is right...I can hear this as a country song.
