This is not how she thought her life would turn out to be As a single mother with three mouths to feed Always counting pennies, making only ends meet And if she lost her job, she'd be out on the street And her boss knows how much how she needs this job Out of bad options its the best she's got So he knows he can treat her exactly how he wants Always using the threat of giving her the chop He abuses his power, exploits the situtation Knowing that she'll tolerate the humiliation The breathing down her neck, the constant advances The comments, the touching the staring the glances But, what can she do? She just doesn't know yet There's no HR, no proper complaints process She can't afford to make a black dress protest The world may be changing but she sees no progress We don't hear the voices of those who cannot speak Those who don't have choices doesn't mean that they are weak If we want to improve things, the direction of this movement Must be from the ground up, not top down When she first met her husband he seemed gentle and kind But, love is blind and she misread the signs She didn't see this violent, terrible side Of this dark man, this Jekyll and Hyde His controlling behaviour it stemmed from his jealousy Then it led to this violent tendency Followed by begging and pleading for clemency The cycle would continue, repeating endlessly He tried his best to keep her isolated Cut off from her family and freinds who he hated Every time she left the house she'd get interrogated And knocked about if she ever disobeyed him So when one day he found one day her chatting online He put her in a coma for a very long time He smashed up her laptop and smashed up her phone To make sure she'd forever, forever be alone We don't hear the voices of those who cannot speak Those who don't have choices doesn't mean that they are weak If we want to improve things, the direction of this movement Must be from the ground up, not top down Tomorrow morning she'll be taking the stand And putting herself face to face with the man Who's carved a massive scar on her life That will never heal no matter how hard she tries But as she's grown older, she's grown in strength She's got daughters now, herself to protect And if he's still out there, if nothing gets said Then somebody's daughter somewhere would be next So she forced herself to go and report him Worried if her family would believe the story Worried the police might need to explore it And she'd have to tell it to a judge and jury But she's bearing the burden alone on her shoulders With the courage and strength of ten soldiers You won't hear of many people much braver But you'll never see her picture in the paper We don't hear the voices of those who cannot speak Those who don't have choices doesn't mean that they are weak If we want to improve things, the direction of this movement Must be from the ground up, not top down
