She Dreamt Of A Sky

[mid-tempo synth riffs open and build in intensity] [Verse 1] Sometimes she prayed Oh she prayed to God above She had the hope and dreams That he'd bring her the life she only could imagine of Not every scar can be seen Not every bruise is inflicted by a hand It's not easy to escape this life She wished they all would understand [synth riffs] [sung with emotion] Yeah she looked to the heavens she dreamt of a sky Where the sun was always warm In the July of her mind [synth solo] [Verse 2] It was the perfect life, her friends believed Such a caring man Who fulfilled all of her needs He was a provider for the home A godly man whose heart would never roam But they never knew about the endless nights About the screams and punches the abuse he delivered with delight the threats he made if she told a soul of what he'd do to her if she gave up control Oh in those moments all she could do Is dream of a blue sky She dreamt of the sky [Chorus, sung with emotion] Yeah she dreamt of the blue sky every night when nothing else would chase away the fright A tiny sliver of hope through blackened days A place where rays of sunlight gave her shade A dream of escaping from this hell A dream of leaving this matrimonial jail They thought her life was something It was not, she had to leave it before her soul could rot Before it could rot [synth solo] [Verse 3] A decade passed before her eyes Just as the bruises faded on her thighs Never where anyone could ever see Not that anyone ever believed The leader of a flock is always admired Who trusts what a wife says had transpired? But in the end others were aggrieved Inappropriate affairs is what were believed Laws broken of man and of god Finally set her free The sky was finally blue and the sun shined bright In her world, on her own now And dreams of the night of the night [Outro to end]
