Life Has Failed You - The Crystalline Effect

You were such a beautiful child, slowly unfolding

You were such an innocent child, gradually evolving

Life has failed you

You should have been protected

You should have been safe from harm

You should have been protected

There should have been some kind of alarm

There is so much complication in your life

Arms that should have held you should not harm

Hands that should have loved you should not do harm

Life has failed you

Now you’re stronger, no-one can take that away

Now you’re stronger, but it’s been such a long, long way
