The rights of the children
The rights of the children
Is the back of a hand
A family tradition
With a child of her own
And stripped of the trust
And won't be denied
The strength of this land
The strength of this land
The rights of childrens
The hurt she pushed inward
The scars of a childhood
The rights of the children
And a boy to a man
Are written in stone
Now she'll do some talking
Have nowhere to stand
And a boy to a man
Like a seed that's been planted
Is the back of a hand
But he'll never know
Is starting to show
The memories of children
A young heart is broken
What's taught is what's known
Turns girls into women
Of where what's right and wrong
Not aware that it's just
And some they get buried
Of where what's right and wrong
Not to be shown
Turns girls into women
Numbed by reaction
Have nowhere to stand
Have nowhere to stand
A family tradition
The tables have turned now
But she's blind to the difference
In a small town
But still they do linger
Deep down inside
