Is it you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it the woman sitting in the church pew next to you or me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Could it be her or you He’s hitting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yelling at<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abusing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it some other woman we don’t see?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know it wasn’t just me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting abused daily<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are so many others out there<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Statistics say 1 in 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Believe me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We don’t see them because they are in hiding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Staying silent<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because When they try to speak up people say…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why did she wait so long<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But she has a beautiful home<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He’s so nice in the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s no way that could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then they ask<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why are you ruining his life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why can’t you just be a better wife?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why are you putting your business in the streets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of keeping it under lock and key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others say<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’re gonna be a single mother<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your never gonna find another (man)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every relationship has problems <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You just need to work harder to solve them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So in despair<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feeling like others don’t understand or care<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She goes into hiding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping the silence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While inside she’s silently dying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hidden crime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
