Two Hundred Little Girls
The issue lives on
Two hundred kidnapped little girls
They aren’t from your country?
But aren’t they of this world?
They aren’t misplaced
They aren’t runaways
Someone plotted
And stole them that day
Two hundred kidnapped little girls
The world should wonder why
While parents tuck in their angels
These parents wipe their eyes
Two hundred kidnapped
Two hundred taken
Two hundred souls
My heart is breaking
May they be watched over
May they be in no pain
May what they have endured
Never be played out again
May God grant us His mercy
May God forgive the indifference
May this terrible insanity
Somehow start making sense
So tonight when I lay down to rest
And give my worries to the Most High
May these girls troubles be lightened…
As the whole world sighs…
Send one another this gift
So clearly within our sight
The presence of ALL
And Love filled with Light
