Ice cold window broken glass
Little girl sits in the back of class
Teacher said she was dumb and deserved to die
Her mother told her don’t listen it’s just a lie
But that day there was no stopping the simple pain
Her school looked at her as if she was nothing but shame
Her older brother said life wasn’t a game
But two years later he died in the war
Burns and cuts turned just to a sore
Her mother cried tears of agony
Their family was just one big tragedy
The papers wrote again and again
Julie Rivers is just death and sin
Her mother tried to bury her head in her breast
All her mother did was cause more mess
She shed more and more blood until one day
Julie Rivers couldn’t go outside to play
The knock on the door there never was an answer
Five years later her mother died of cancer
Listen to the wind and you’ll hear her cry
I Julie Rivers must never say goodbye
