She's ready to leave and run away She's had more than Any 12 year old can take So she decides to leave this life of abuse She's tried before, but he always found her So what was the use But now it's gone too far The bruises are too bad And mommy won't believe her So she plans her escape Without looking back She opens the window Looking forward to freedom The howl of the wind Gives her the courage she needed With her bag on her back And her head held high She ran as fast as she could Without a regret in sight She escaped her abuser No more beatings to withstand And mommy's husband Never laid a hand on her again
