happy little girl —

full of laughter and cheer.

happy little girl —

who always sees daddy disappear.

happy little girl —

feeling responsible for her mother´s tears.

happy little girl —

hides many secrets and has so much fear.

happy little girl isn´t so happy after all.

look into her eyes and see the cage around her soul.

sad little girl —

crying to the night.

sad little girl —

so ready to give up the fight.
