one cold chilly day i was walking home from school
minding my own business trying to play it cool
not a worry on sight
i knew something didnt feel right

ny cousin stayed after with his friends
to watch a football game and see who wins
i looked up the hill that i was climbing
who knew i would be on my back crying

tears are blinding my eyes 
as i try to look through them to find
the person who would have the guts
to do such a thing as he must

i woulndt hate him forever
but thats what i felt, but i could never
the pain that i felt was very strong
and what he was doing was very wrong

i wouldnt say a word to another
because he threatened to hurt my brother
my brother is my hero, my life
and if anything said, that would mean a fight

a fight i wasnt ready for
because what he did left me sore
wrapped around my wrists and ankles were ropes
the least i could pray for was  some hope

there is a name for what he did 
and i knew from the beginning its a sin
but what covered my mouth was some tape
and what he was doing was called rape

my mind was in a haze, a dream
and with my mouth covered was a mute scream
as the minutes passed by
i was wishing that i could die

now i am home feeling frightened and cold
my mouth shut and not a word told
its hard to live each passing day
because what had happened left me in pain

its scary because he goes to your school
because he thinks he has the power to rule
but life to me just doesnt seem fair
i wish i didnt live in the middle of nowhere
