Dove High Over the Storm

I see you drifting through the veil of night, my lost young child
These torn clothes and your face is bruised and red, what's happened child?
Did you say your parents were kidnapped?
No child, your parents can't be dead!
My little lotus flower, crying in the dark
Lotus flower, you've been starving in the streets, it breaks my heart
Lotus flower, how can a child they beat, it breaks my heart

Child I will take you in
Child I will bring you home
And bring happiness back to you
No more you'll suffer alone
Child we will take you in
Child we will bring you home
You'll be a flower that sees the spring
Soon a dove flying high over the storm

My young child, you scream each night fearing the monsters will come
And take your Grandma, just like they broke down your door and took your mom
Did you say your teacher expelled you?
Even though you get the best grades in school?
My little lotus flower, crying in the dark
Lotus flower, it's not wrong to tell the truth, or to be kind
Lotus flower, how can I stand by silent, your life's on the line?

Child I will take you in
Child I will bring you home
And bring happiness back to you
No more you'll suffer alone
Child we will take you in
Child we will bring you home
You'll be a flower that sees the spring
Soon a dove flying high over the storm
Soon a dove high over the storm
