A child is born with hope and trust
Then all is gone with a neighbors lust
Into a home that was then a friend 
To begin a nightmare for years would never end
He touches the child it doesn't feel right 
The child just stays in a frozen fright
He gives him a trinket and says do not tell
It's thrown away for of dirt it smells 
He cries out but not in words 
It's not answered for it's not heard 
The child cries out, but not in words
It's not answered for it's not heard 
So the child is lost, not yet a man 
Hope and trust gone with the sands 
Into the mind comes a well of shame 
Filling the soul with guilt and blame
The child is lost and no one cares
Being so young he's unaware 
He becomes quiet and keeps to himself
No one can hurt you with trust on the shelf
And love is hard to give or gain
When the soul is lost in a well of shame 
He gets older, it's drugs and drink 
To drown out the past, or so he thinks
It's there though hidden and life's not a game 
He falls even deeper in his well of shame 
His life now worthless,  he feels it should end
He's hurt so many of his family and friends 
Love for himself is no longer there
Loss of his life, no one will care
He decides to give life a try just once more
He look for the past he had once before 
The past remembered, he recalls the shame
The fear, the sorrow,  the hurt, the blame
To heal the past and the hurt that he knows
He must find the child he lost long ago
He then must forgive him, and give him a hug
And let the child know he always was loved
