As I look out that double pane glass
And peering down the side
Watching as the blue car starts to pass
I just duck down to hide
Suddenly it turns into our drive
I just look at the door
My bags are packed I feel like I’m gonna die
I know whats instore
I have seen this many times
For what did go wrong
I didn’t see the signs
But the road is gonna be long
The pain I feel inside my soul
For everyone had hurt me so bad
I just need that peaceful thing to make me whole
Its something I’ve never had
A tall lady walk inside
Just greeting at the door
She said she was giving me a ride
Later she would tell me more
I remember sitting in the car
Just waiting for us to go
I remember hold a green frog named star
I just wanted to know
And as I sit in that car
Just thinking what I did so bad
I never really know the family so far
Never really had a dad
As I was adopted a year from then
And life had sucked from the start
I just was locked within
Nothing was good…..they took my heart
As I was locked in that room
A dog food all around
Chunky Beef is what they had
To drink is toilet water…I drank from the ground
I can still think of that room
As I close my eyes at night
The no shades on the window
I had only the moons light.
I remember just laying there as I looked outside
Just wondering what was going on
I had no one to confide
Not even as simple as a mom
And so when that day came
For them to take me away
The pain inside by the name
Its called Defective in every way
So we take that trip through the city
Just watching the car go by
My froggie and me
I just start to cry
What is my life gonna be
Going from home each year
To feel that family…to be close to thee
To feel some love so dear
And so we come to that house
A place to lay my head
Trying not to stir arouse
Hopefully there’s a warm bed.
So we get out of that automobile
Look for a safe ground to run to
Not a dark spot…or a hole in a hill
Who gonna hurt me now…if only I knew
