"Child in the Picture"
Child in the picture
Sweetness radiates from thee
Rapture fills your heart
As you imagine what could be
The world will be your oyster
Thrilling notions fill your head
You nestle in their visions
While dreaming silently in bed
Child in the picture
Did the world do right by you
Was the pleasure worth the pain
That nearly tore your heart in two
Were you protected from the evil
That befell so many hearts
Were you sanctioned from above
To overcome and stand apart
Child in the picture
Can you still dream of what might be
Now that you’re no longer
The young girl that once was me
