Childhood's End

Shadows dancing on my bedroom walls
Like butterflies
Kind-hearted whispers mother’s love
Goodnight, kiss

There is something no one knows
Something deep inside
Once the whispers leave this place
I close my eyes

I’m here all alone
Don’t let him touch me
I can not escape
He’s come to hurt me

Wildly dreaming under cosy sheets
Journeys to foreign lands
Riding wings of fantasy
Like childhood never ends

These dreams have left by now
I feel he’s coming again
Mother’s left us for a while
Is she so blind?

Why me?
Mama, please come back home to me
Just let me be a child
It’s not my fault
