At the park, a little girl plays

While the white van loops

She's unaware of the danger at bay

Until in the man swoops

He took her in broad daylight

And miraculously, nobody saw

She tried to put up a fight

But he held her like a shark's jaw

Into the van, and away they went

She cried and begged and pleaded

But her outcry made no dent

So she gave up trying to succeed

Her ignorance had lead her astray

And now she has been taken away

That day, a mother lost her child

And a little boy lost his sister

While once they all smiled

It's all no more because of mister

Because of the man who stole

Their little ray of sunshine

Their life is no longer whole

And they will never be fine

Their family has been torn

And they weep for the little girl

Who didn't grow to look worn

She was as beautiful as a fresh pearl

Because of the fight she was losing

That man was the little girl's undoing
