Rescue Me
Shaken awake before the birds
Still clinging to her fairy dreams
Yesterday's clothes can be worn again
She waits behind the wire fence
Boy forced from home in the dead of night
Now seven years he's still out of sight
Kicking up stones on gun control
He'd rather build Frosty in the snow
Sit with me on the outskirts in the trading in the misery
Speak to me over the crossfire and the barbed wire and uncertainty
Cause every child is special so deserving of love
And protection from the night it doesn't feel right
Rescue Me
Empty school chairs at harvest time
Tobacco hands stained with grime
Dressed up to lure the passing trade
Aren't kids supposed to sell lemonade?
Sit with me on the outskirts in the trading in the misery
Speak to me over the crossfire and the barbed wire and uncertainty
Cause every child is special so deserving of love
And protection from the night it doesn't feel right
Rescue Me
We love to sing out
We love to run free
Can someone make them see?
Sit with me in the sweatshops and the boat docks and anxiety
Speak to me about the stranger and the brothel and the memories
Cause every child is special so deserving of love
And protection from the night it doesn't feel right
Rescue Me
Still clinging to her fairy dreams
Yesterday's clothes can be worn again
She waits behind the wire fence
Boy forced from home in the dead of night
Now seven years he's still out of sight
Kicking up stones on gun control
He'd rather build Frosty in the snow
Sit with me on the outskirts in the trading in the misery
Speak to me over the crossfire and the barbed wire and uncertainty
Cause every child is special so deserving of love
And protection from the night it doesn't feel right
Rescue Me
Empty school chairs at harvest time
Tobacco hands stained with grime
Dressed up to lure the passing trade
Aren't kids supposed to sell lemonade?
Sit with me on the outskirts in the trading in the misery
Speak to me over the crossfire and the barbed wire and uncertainty
Cause every child is special so deserving of love
And protection from the night it doesn't feel right
Rescue Me
We love to sing out
We love to run free
Can someone make them see?
Sit with me in the sweatshops and the boat docks and anxiety
Speak to me about the stranger and the brothel and the memories
Cause every child is special so deserving of love
And protection from the night it doesn't feel right
Rescue Me
