TAKEN!
I have no idea how I came up with these lyrics, but Im
glad I did, because I think they send a powerful message.
She loved to party
Listened to rock and roll
Hanging onto her freedom
Was her ultimate goal
With her guitar on her back
She jumped a bus with her freinds
This is the life she dreamed of
A beggining that never ends
People only dissaproved
Of every aspect of her being
Yet, to what was really going on
They were oblivious to seeing
*Shes hiding so you wont see her
So you wont call her on her lie
Shes hiding behind her rock and roll
So you cant take her shelter for tonight
She wants everything to be okay
To truly smile every single day
She wants to ask God to show her the way
But hell, she doesnt even know how to pray*
She hides behind her rock and roll
And pretends she doesnt care
But she often wishes for the 'normal' life
And to retract from the worlds bitter stare
Her problems built up over time
As she tried to run away from each
And every time she tried to go back
Things were far beyond her reach
What everyone wanted of her
She silently wanted to
But no one told her how or what
So she did the only thing she knew
*Shes hiding so you wont see her
So you wont call her on her lie
Shes hiding behind her rock and roll
So you cant take her shelter for tonight
She wants everything to be okay
To truly smile every single day
She wants to ask God to show her the way
But hell, she doesnt even know how to pray*
Maybe if one day she can go back
And erase her turbulant past
She can find something to hang on to
Something that will maybe last
Well thats her dream anyway
And her goal to be free
Is getting further away from her
And its getting harder to see
So knowing she cant fix things
Knowing she wont ever reach her goal
She picks up the razor blade
And hides behind her rock and roll
*Shes hiding so you wont see her
So you wont call her on her lie
Shes hiding behind her rock and roll
So you cant take her shelter for tonight
She wants everything to be okay
To truly smile every single day
She wants to ask God to show her the way
But hell, she doesnt even know how to pray*
