see those lines upon her face it's so sad, such a human waste for this girl so young and free to fall down like a fallen leaf she goes home to a crowded room full of smoke and cheap perfume and the neighbors stare at the tube and tell stories of their wasted youth
(chorus)
she's seventeen she knows what they mean she's seventeen and she's down on her knees and her master knows the secret way to ease the pain of another day
she doesn't know there's another way to face the fear without turning away and she's cold, it's a cold hard world but deep inside she's a little girl with dreams she can never find cause she's all alone, got nowhere to hide so she runs away in a desperate move but she doesn't see it's a darkened tomb
(chorus)
then a shot in the dark pierces her heart she's all alone in the cold and dark when the dream ends there's a place to go in another world where the pain won't show then the little one in the hardened shell heads for the Son and away from hell and she touched the hand with healing power and now she stands till the final hour
