[Intro]
Whispers in silence, shadows in my mind,
Echoes of a story I wish I could find.
Carrying burdens that no one can see,
A silent plea trembling inside of me.
[Verse 1]
The weight of a false charge, a heartbreak unseen,
Struggling with secrets, torn between what’s been.
Eights months lost, in a silent scream,
The child’s silent pain, a muted dream.
[Pre-Chorus]
Could I have spoken? Should I have fought?
For the voice that was silenced, for the lessons untaught.
Now I see the scars, in the corners and the halls,
A plea in the chaos, behind the walls.
[Chorus]
Carry this guilt, it’s a heavy load,
Living with secrets, on this lonely road.
I wish I could turn back, break through the night,
Stand for that child, shine a light.
[Bridge]
Every whispered hurt, every hidden cry,
A call for rescue, a chance to reply.
In Ottawa’s shadows, I carry the pain,
Trying to heal what will never be the same.
[Outro]
Guilt’s a shadow I’ll bear all my life,
Holding onto hope, amidst the strife.
A call for justice, a voice ignored,
For the child’s silence, my silent sword.
