May Flowers

I colored this picture for you

A little girl crying in her room

Her mom's just outside the door, holding her head

And her brother's outside shooting hoops

Yeah, you can see him past her windowsill

But we're not looking at him the same ever again

Baby what'd he do to you?

Come on what's happened to you?

Tell mama that you're ok?

May flowers, she won't say a single word

The doctors gave up on her

Some things just can't be cured

Or covered up

These days she's hardly alive

She's already dead in the eyes

The house has been silent ever since

Tell me what happened to Caroline

Whatever happened to Caroline?

Baby what'd he do to you?

Come on what's happened to you?

Mama knows it hurts inside (deflowered)

"When you're on your feet again

You'll grow a resilience to those cold, unrelenting showers"

May flowers grow taller

The harder April storms on the land

If you knew these storms were gonna come...

I thought mothers protected their young

Those rainclouds are hiding your son

Now look at what happened to Caroline!

Whatever happened to Caroline?

How do we solve a problem like

Uh oh, uh oh, you don't

Still we've got to catch those clouds

We've got to keep them down

How do we solve a problem we don't want to know about?

Uh oh, we don't
