Your young shoulders carry burdens
Far too heavy for your age,
And your heart seems oh so tortured
And your mind seems in a rage.
Come to me you poor wee lassie,
Let my arms encircle yours.
Rest your head upon my shoulder,
Open wide the floodgate doors.
Your release is my salvation,
I can't stand to see you thus.
Weep away all those frustrations,
Change that minus to a plus.
