Out of Harm's Way
Wrap me up in a chrysalis
a cocoon, a womb, anything
Shelter me from all of this
The world and all that entering it brings
Tuck me safely inside allowing me to grow
If it gets any worse than this
I do not wish to know
Protect me from the outside world
Where there's harm awaiting
This little girl
Secure me from the heartbreak and toil
Lest my goodness and innocence
Get exposed to spoil
Prepare me for the evil that men do
Before I emerge a babe
born brand new.
