                                                             ABUSE...The Cycle Can Be Broken
                                                                           ( You're Not Alone)


I'd rather live my life in my world
     then to have to live in yours
Where abuse and anger follow you
     as you go from door to door

I'd rather live my life in my world
     then to always have to cry
From the harmful way you treat me
     and not never knowing why

I'd rather live my life in my world
     happiness I'll hope to find
Where the words that will be spoken
     will be gentle and be kind

I'd rather live my life in my world
     where things are always bright
Never having to live in fear again
     from your torment or your fight

It was in your world you took from me
     I found the strength to take it back
My life, self esteem, my happiness
     In my world I will never lack
