• Yesterday I cried
    For the child inside

    Who, with pain so deep
    She could not sleep.

    I let go of her fears
    and shed her tears

    The remnants of pain
    Will always remain,

    But one thing is clear
    There's nothing to fear

    In those lonely places
    and empty faces.

    Yesterday I cried
    For the child inside

    That lonely child
    Who lived so wild

    But no one knew
    What she'd gone through

    There was no one there,
    No one to care

    And oh, how I cried
    For the child inside

    And I held her tight
    Said it would be alright

    I dried her tears
    And I eased her fears

    My child inside
    She almost died

    But now she's free
    And living happily

    Yesterday I cried
    for the child inside.
