STOP
don't look away
don't leave me standing here afraid
you see me shuddering in the cold
yet you close your cloak
and continue your stroll

STOP
don't walk on by
can't you see the tears I cry
As you look upon my body broken and bruised
Or do you choose not to see
because you have too much to lose

STOP
Don't turn your head from me
Can't you hear my silent plea
YI know you saw me sleeping beneath the stars
young, unlearned, and freshly scarred
Yet you didn't even stop your car

STOP
Don't you dare just close your eyes
This is my life
my one last chance
a chance to survive
These streets
life's defeats
being beat
the kidnappers sting
Destruction and suffering

So.............

STOP
STOP
STOP
Mister please
Please
STOP
Just STOP
please stop
and help me
