In the quiet of the hallway when the lights go down
She hides inside her heartbeat afraid to make a sound
He whispers words that freeze her says love’s what this should mean
But love should never silence little Irene
And every tear that falls unseen
Is carving truth in memories she can’t clean
Little Irene you were just a child,
Lost in the storm of a father’s lies
He said don’t tell, keep it deep inside
But the silence grew too loud to hide
Now twenty years and a broken dream
Still echoes in the heart of Irene
She tried to build her life again forget what she’s been through
But ghosts don’t fade, they follow you
When she spoke her pain at last they turned and walked away
Evil wears a smile that justice can’t erase.
She screams into the night unseen
A truth denied a wound that’s evergreen
Little Irene you were just a child
Lost in the storm of a father’s lies
He said don’t tell, keep it deep inside
But the silence grew too loud to hide
Now twenty years and a broken dream
Still echoes in the heart of Irene
One day she’ll stand in the light
No longer hiding from the fight
The world may turn and look away
But her voice will never fade
Little Irene you’re not to blame
You survived the fire you broke the chain
Though they left you standing in the rain
You rose again you rose again
And the world will know what’s been unseen
The truth inside the heart of Irene
This happens too much with uncles Brothers vaders Friends stepdads
De rowan Tigers music Love peace
This is for All the Girls who have been harmed by the man
