A pretty, little girl is walking across the street
her toes are small and pink trousers cover her feet
she is not aware of the dangers, she is so innocent
her soul is white, glowing, incandescent.
She’s probably twelve years old, living on her own
she has no folks, this street is her home.
She finds the right people, asks for food and drink
she’s cold and weak, and she is living on the brink.
Who will take care of the little girls
the ones who need it, the ones who are poor
the ones who are hurt, the ones who find no cure
these beauties, these diamonds, these pearls.
She sells her body, that is her only possession
she fullfills every man’s wild obsession
who have the money, the ones who pay
they fuck her hard, while children go out and play.
She has no idea, she has a creature living inside
the creature is evil, it’s harmful and it does bite
it is eating her insides, spreading to the mind
spreading to the men, who rape her from behind.
Who will save the ones who live on the street
who sleep in the alleys, who can never feel good
who will never feel loved, like every child should
who die from cold, never feel the heat.
Every day is the same tragedy, customers come and go
and she can remember, christmas, with the ones who loved her so
she remembers the presents, the food, each christmas light
Santa, the chimney, she thinks about it every night.
But now she is becoming tired of this life
why couldn’t she be some decent man’s wife
who would live in a warm house, the frigerator is full
this life would be filled with happiness, not this fucking dull.
Who will save her soul and rescue her from this hell
no one does, cos’ nobody cares, poor little girl
no one will call you his precious little pearl
and nobody comes, you will live in your cell.
Now she lies down in the alley, not caring anymore
her life is stranding on an unknown, rocky shore
sweet memories with good people are attacking her mind
she sees a light, and she feels the warmth, she could never find
strange sensation is spreading through her body, the sensation is nice
the sensation fills her mind, the creature inside of her dies
cos a saviour is found, but not human, not of this earth
who has followed her, from the day of her birth
and this is god, he is taking her back up to heaven, happy place
and she dies slowly in the cold alley, with a warm smile on her face.
