My eyes cannot see in the darkness here
And my mouth has been tied with a rag,
And the only sound that my little ears hear
Are my cries which aren't stopped by the gag.

Then the door opens up and the lights come on.
Made tight are the ropes which enslave me.
The white phone is dialed, the demands are made
And I scream for my parents to save me.

"Come save me, Daddy!!" and "Please hurry, Mama!!"
As my body is wracked with tears.
And the pain which threatens to render my heart
Is too great for a child of six years.

Now my captors are angry about the demands
And they tell me my papa refused.
They tell me, "You've got some cold parents there, kid."
and, "You must be a child they've abused."

I scream that they're lying, I cannot believe
My papa has left me to die.
I weep as I feel my heart breaking in two
Then whisper soft to myself, "... Why?"

So why did you do it, sweet father of mine:
Leave your son scared and alone?
I doubt that even a river of tears
Could melt your heart of stone.

I just want you to know I was still loving you
The moment I knew you did not love me too.
