Born in a field of wealth and gold She didn't know it very well Her brother and father left out in the cold Fed grass with the pigs and the chickens and so She sang her sad tune in her suitcase Filled with pictures of gap toothed smiles She fed her captors three times a day They honoured her leader with slaps on the back While her vision grew darker, imprisoned by life's cruel hand When the war was over they packed up and left Her scars in the kitchen, traumatized but alive She met a man with dirty lungs On a bike they road as three Soon after, eleven mouths to feed The man's lungs gave in So she got on her knees and cleaned The children were unloving and ungrateful They mourned their father with theft and abuse And so She fed her captors three times a day They honoured her leader with slaps on the back While her vision grew darker, imprisoned by life's cruel hand Now she's gone In a home In the west All alone
