She's only sixteen

She has the dreams of a girl

She thought she'd be in love

She thought she'd have a white picket fence

Now she stands on the corner

She sold herself to the streets

When the world gave up on her

She gave up on herself

She says

"Can anybody hear me

"Does anybody care?"

As the monster pulls up slowly

He asks her how much she is

She's worthless

Sweetheart

You're worthless

He's only fifteen

The world is passing him by

His father killed his mother

And drugs took over his life

Now he sleeps on the corner

The streets become his home

When the world gave up on him

He gave up on himself

He said,

"Is anybody out there

"Does anybody care?"

The hopelessness is rising

There's only so much one can bear

I said

You are not alone

I'm standing by your side

I'll walk with you through hell

I'll walk with you tonight

We are the forgotten

That nobody wants to face

Together we can rise

Let's climb out of hell

You are not forgotten

I'm standing by your side

Your struggle makes you beautiful

Out of hell we will climb

Out of hell we will climb

Out of hell we will climb

Out of hell we will climb

Out of hell we will climb

Out of hell we will climb

Out of hell we will climb

Out of hell we will

Climb
