hold me close

hold me near

protect me from the coming fear

kiss me gently

say those words I hear

even though the end is near

I saw the soldiers trudging in

taking him away, trusted I thought they'd been

I hear their voices cold and mean

as a million men taken I had seen

the only one I had was gone

the one that I depended on

the love of my life

my heart

my soul

my soul now broken, my heart cold

they left me slowly

left me behind

crazy to think these people were kind

I fell to the floor

shaking in fear

as the final train leaving, I did hear

tears falling from my eyes

all the truth

all the lies

the woman I was supposed to be

was broken now, I could see

the screams coming from my mouth

made them want to run about my heart was dead

my soul was gone

and that was when my baby was born

blonde hair

blue eyes

she looked at me in suprise

the dirty streets, in the morn

my beautiful baby, Olivia, was born

my treasure

my life

the only thing that kept me alive

Oliva grew up to be strong and wise

forgetting all her mother's lies

because one day walking on the street

she found something quite very sweet

she ran to her father

old but strong

and she forgot all her father's wrongs

they all live together

happy and free

beautiful and precious they all will be
