"Hey little girl would you like some candy Your momma said that its ok The door is open come on outside No I can't come out today It's not the wind that cracked your shoulder And threw you to the ground Whos there that makes you so afraid You're shaken to the bone And I don't understand You deserve so much more than this " ~ Sarah McLachlan ~Good Enough
