SARA'S GONE
(Barbara Millikan)

Things got bad when Todd was drinking and then Lisa did some crack
And when the fighting started, the children hid in back.
Now Nessie's four and David's six, but Sara's only two,
And when the hitting started, she didn't know what to do.

CHORUS:
Sara's gone, Sara's gone,
How can it be, Sara's gone?

Sara ran between them, she'd already wet the bed,
And she got kicked, really hard. "Shut up! You're not hurt, " they said.
Todd smashed the TV when he left, Lisa tucked them in that night;
David and Nessie were terrified, and Sara, she was white.

Taking the photos from the casket, Lisa broke down and I held her
While the social worker led her kids away
We sat looking at the pictures of Sara in the sun,
When we all reached out to hold her, but now ... Sara's gone.

CHO.
