Little Darling
Little darling, so innocent.
Oh, the things you can't control.
I don't really know what that's like.
Little darling, everything you could have known
Oh, so close, yet oh, so far.
Is sympathy a decent substitute for empathy?
Little darling, struggling all your life.
Oh, how easy it can be.
I want to help, if that counts for anything.
Little darling, one day you'll see.
Oh, how wonderful your life will be!
I'll make sure you're freed.
