Her Dance

I wrote this song about an issue close to my heart. Working with the women at GenerateHope I have learned to love each and every one of them and realized they are changing my life. I am passionate about my cause to fight trafficking and restore, empower, and join in on the journey these girls are taking in the house.

This song isn't completely done and may take a few months to perfect it but here's the basic idea. Thanks to those who helped me get my thoughts into song form. I apologize for my guitar skills in advance :)

Lyrics below:

With red lips and a new dress, you step out into the night

Hurry through the motions, survive

Hide the bruises he leaves on your face

Cover up his mess, don’t know why he covers up your name

Your sweet name

And this wild dance you do

No one sees his guided moves

Cause they're in it for the delight

"So you’re it for the cash?

Or is it some obsession, your past?" they come to you and ask

Chorus:

Nobody knows, nobody knows

Tears fill the sheets

Flow through the streets

You don't answer but think of the days

Of ballet slippers and plays

See you’re just a little girl, soft blue eyes, discover the world

Can’t you see that this she’s still alive

You’re just buried deep inside

You've seen his look before

Hollow eyes, an empty soul

Dark despair like the dark of your hair

Think “Dear Lord, is this time the last?”

The only way to get by, surrender again to the dance

You push and you pull
