A Safe Place

Protect this child in your arm
Do not let him suffer more harm
He has been through so much pain
Tell me what they had to gain

Give this child a safe place to grow
Make sure you care and let him know
Show him we're not all bad out there
That there are people who really do care

Nightmares he suffers through the night
His life has been a constant plight
Take his hand and hold it firm
Through this your love he will learn

Hold on tight don't ever let go
In the end his love will show
Help me god to guide way
And show him I am here to stay

With my heart and soul I'll give
A safe place where he can live
Unconditional love I'll give to them all
Pick them up if ever they fall....
