somewhere there's a field where the children play
all the world's evil a lifetime away
but at the door there is a man
and it may be something she'll never understand

life’s little tragedies don't compare
to all the suffering she will bear
sometimes life seems so long
if she's going to make it she must be strong

i know she's out there
i feel her pain
she'll never forget
it'll never be the same
i know she's out there
trying to find her way
so very far from where the children play

every moment the feeling of regret
if she could have anything she would forget
she is not alone but i wish she were
there's too much pain for such a tiny world
