F Once I knew a little girl G Who refused to eat C She just banged her head against the floor and F Didn t sleep for a week F G Both of her parents were mentally delayed and they C F Lived in constant fear that their daughter would be taken away F G So instead of getting help they just pretended C Everything was okay
C
F So I called the social worker and said G Something is wrong she said C F You know how she turns into a brat when she doesn t get what she wants F G C I ll call you later when I m done playing with my dog
C
F G C F Sometimes the world is dark and cold F G C F And no matter what I m told F G C F I m scared and I m alone and I m five years old F G C Will you hold my hand
C
F Once I knew a little guy G C Runny nose and bruises on his thighs and I said hey F What happened here F He looked at me and said G C Well my dad he hates me
C
F So I called the social worker confidentially G And she called his mom and said C F Guess who thinks your husband is beating up your son F G Next thing I knew that family packed up C And they were gone
C
F G C F Back pressed flat against the wall F G C F And they hit me with a ball F G C F Pretend it didn t hurt at all F G C Will you hold my hand

C
F G C F It sucks when for a little kid living means lying F G C F And the only place you feel safe is pretending you're flying F G C F And you d rather be caught dead than be caught crying F G C Will you hold my hand
C
F G Abuse and neglect are highly contagious so C I called that social worker up and I said F Hey lady you re outrageous F She said smarty pants G You want a gold star C I said no I wanna bash your head in F With a crowbar F G But the cycle of violence has to end somewhere
C
F G C F Come and take a swim with me F G C F We ll wait under water patiently F G C F For the output of endorphins as we re swallowed by the sea F G C Will you hold my hand F G C Will you hold my hand F G C Will you hold my hand
