Now little Lisa is only 9 years old Shes tryin to figure out why the world is so cold Why shes all all alone and they never met her family Mamas always gone and she never met her daddy Part of her is missin' and nobody will listen Mama on drugs gettin high up in the kitchen Bringin home men at different hours of the night Startin with some laughs--usually endin in a fight Sneak into her room while her mamas knocked out Tryin to have his way and little Lisa says 'ouch' She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her Tries to tell her mom but her mama don't believe her Lisa is stuck up in the world on her own Forced to think that hell is a place called home Nothin else to do but some get some clothes and pack She says shes bout to run away and never come back.
