When I was a little child

I spent each day in fear

Seeking places where I could hide

So that she could not find me

For she was always most displeased

That I was not better than I was

I gave to her my very best

But is was never good enough

There was a place that she worked

For many years every day

And I learned to stay away

And I never would go there

Many years have pasted away

And long since has she gone

There now is quite safe

But the fear is still in my soul

And the fear of her still is there

But now they say I must go

And they say all is safe

Still the child within me cries

 And I want still to run a hide
