Little Girl! Oh, Little Girl!
By Joshua Boyce

Little girl, oh, little girl
What has happened to your world?
The skies are black, the trees have died
Little girl, oh, precious pearl!

Your friends, they seem to come and go
Your love, it seems to ebb and flow
You're lost within a world of pain
Where nothing will ever, ever be the same

You feel like you have lost control
You feel like you have lost your soul
Drowning in a world of hurt
You proudly wear your bloodstained shirt

Little girl, oh, little girl
Why do you live in your dark world?
So alone, everything you've made your home
Little girl, oh, precious pearl!

You lose yourself in all the songs
You forget your rights, but not the wrongs
You stain the sheets with blood and tears
You stain your mind with thoughts of fears

You feel alone, you feel the pain
Your life is lived beneath the rain
You release it all in self-control
The knife to skin to hide the hole

Little girl, oh, little girl
Why do you bleed in your dark world?
Your skin is slit, your life's a pit
Little girl, oh, precious pearl!

You feel alone, the Voice objects
"You are Beautiful, My precious Pearl
I'm here for you. I'll heal your hurt
My little girl! My precious pearl!

I've see your pain.
Yes, I know you're dying!
Hear me now!
Hear me crying!

'Little Girl! Oh, Little Girl!
Will you let me in your dark world!
I'll heal your pain and be your world!
My precious pearl! Oh, Precious PEARL!'"

Little girl, oh, little girl
Speaks the Voice of One above!
Will you join Me in My Love?
Precious girl!, oh, Precious PEARL!
