Linda Allen - Spirit Keeper Lyrics
Little spirit keeper, little child of wonderMany years have come and goneTrembling little shoulders - called to be much olderHow can I reach you with my song?You were 4 years old, and the story's an old oneYour father touched you, made you promise not to tellNobody told you that your body's all your ownTiny girl - so aloneThen you were 7, and your father's game continuedBought you pretty things, but he hurt you just the sameHow can I tell you, there are those around who'd helpLittle girl - so aloneLittle spirit keeper, little child of wonderMany years have come and goneTrembling little shoulders - called to be much olderHow can I reach you with my song?When you were 9 years old, your secret weighed so heavyTried to be perfect, just to hide your secret shameHe called you little tease, but child, you're not to blamePrecious child - so aloneYou were eleven, how you longed to tell your motherYou thought she'd hate you, for she loved your father soCut off from her, and you couldn't risk close friendsSilent child - so aloneLittle spirit keeper, little child of wonderMany years have come and goneTrembling little shoulders - called to be much olderHow can I reach you with my song?At sixteen years, you finally lifted uyp your headSaid you'd call the cops, and you threw him from your bedThought it was over, but a sister was still homeAnother child - all aloneNow many years have passed, and the shadows linger onAll the midnight lovers, all the heartaches with the dawnCan we heal each other, little girl and woman grown?Frightened children, you and ILittle spirit keeper, little child of wonderMany years have come and goneTrembling little shoulders - called to be much olderHow can I reach you with my song?How can I reach you with my song?
