Head Down / Light On

Little girl
Why so sad
This beautiful world is not all bad
Head down against the ground
The One that listens
He does not judge whether good or bad
Lay your head down
Speak to Him
He knows everything that hides within
A heavy heart
Eyes that bleed
Protecting you was my deed
I've let you down
Let them down
Do not worry
You shall be freed
Happy days aren't far away
Trust me when I say that
You can be everything
You are everything
And everything is there
Inside you
Flick a switch
Turn the light on
Suppressed anger
Turns to love
The world it will hurt you
Only if you let it
But do not break
Even when you sway
Even when you bend
Taught to be strong
From an age so young
A teacher called life 
Just for a short while
Here, then gone
Another life taken
Henning beheaded 
In the name of a God
Who doesn't want this
Using Islam to justify ISIS
Argh
This world 
It's people
The things that they do
What happened to wanting for your neighbour 
What you want for you
Still I smile
And you will too
You're more than my friend
I love you.
