Little boy with a heart of gold
Your scars forever nigh have told
Malicious deeds that none should know
They’ll never take your heart of gold
May angels guide your feet, little boy,
Towards the peace you truly seek –
High proof to ease the pain
Won’t heal your wounds this way
Little girl with a heart of gold
Your smile, for long, has not been shown
Don’t listen to the jokes they’ve told
They’ll never hold the weight of gold
May angels guide your feet, little girl,
Towards the peace you truly seek –
Lined skin and reddened blades
Won’t heal your wounds this way
May angels guide you there
Godspeed in getting there
May angels guide your feet, little one,
Towards the peace you truly seek:
Unfairly given scars
Don’t make you who you are
I’m sorry for the pain I gave
I’m ashamed I made you feel this way
I’d take your scars and wounds away
If I could rewrite yesterday
