     Once I knew a little girl
2
     Who refused to eat
	  3
She just     banged her head against the floor and
4
     Didn?t sleep for a week
4		              2
     Both of her parents were    mentally delayed and they
3				                         4
     Lived in constant fear that their daughter would be   taken away
4			                2
So instead of getting help they just pretended
	       3
Everything was okay
3----
       4
So I called the social worker and said
2
     Something is wrong, she said
3				                4
     You know how she turns into a brat when she doesn?t get what she wants
4		             2		              3
I?ll call you later when I?m done playing with my dog
3----
4	      2        3        4
Sometimes the world is dark and cold
4      2      3        4
And no matter what I?m told
    4              2             3          4
I?m scared and I?m alone and I?m five years old
4        2       3
Will you hold my hand?

1
     Once I knew a little guy
2					             3
     Runny nose and bruises on his thighs and I said hey
	      4
What happened here
4		  
He looked at me and said
2		     3
     Well my dad he hates me
3
      4
So I called the social worker confidentially
2
     And she called his mom and said
3			              4
     Guess who thinks your husband is    beating up your son
4		               2
Next thing I knew that family packed up
	      3
And they were gone
3----
4	     2     3          4
Back pressed flat against the wall
4                2          3          4
And they hit me with a ball
4          2      3       4
Pretend it didn?t hurt at all
4        2       3
Will you hold my hand?

     Maybe I?ll call Oprah
	       2
There must be    something she can do
          3					         4
I?ll say    I?m fat and I?m black and I?m sick of seeing   little kids feel blue
4		         2
And me and Oprah we will   fix CPS
	  3					                4
And we?ll   make sure that people working with kids have bigger hearts than the rest
4
And if you want to have a baby
2		            3
     You?ll have to past a test
3----
    4	             2         3            4
It sucks when for a little kid living means lying

        4              2               3               4
And the only place you feel safe is pretending you're flying
	   4	           2         3            4
And you?d rather be caught dead than be caught crying
4        2       3
Will you hold my hand?
3----
4		      2
Abuse and neglect are   highly contagious so
3
     I called that social worker up and I said
4
     Hey lady you?re outrageous
4
She said smarty pants
2
     You want a gold star?
        3
I said    no I wanna bash your head in
4
     With a crowbar
    4		             2
But    the cycle of violence    has to end somewhere
3----
4        2      3         4
Come and take a swim with me
4                2     3      4
We?ll wait under water patiently 
        4          2                   3               4
For the output of endorphins as we?re swallowed by the sea
4        2       3
Will you hold my hand?
4        2       3
Will you hold my hand?
4        2       3
Will you hold my hand?
