Like Cargo
Words and Music by Amy Savin ©
Vs .1
The door unlocks, the curtains fall
Wide-eyed, I hear my monsters call
One by one they take their turn
Think I’m a toy, but I’m a girl
13 years old, crying for mom
Vs .2
I’m dressed like a dirty magazine
My back’s been marked with tattoo ink
They label all the girls this way
We’re shipped like cargo on a train
I die a little every day
Chorus:
I need you
I need you
To save me from here
To save me from here
Can you?
Vs .3
If I survive, I won’t forget
Their faces haunt my every step
Dehumanized in every way
Self-worth’s an angel that’s been slain
And still hope sings, if ever faint
Chorus:
I need you
I need you
To save me from here
Save me from here
Can you?
Bridge:
I want to believe that there is good in this world, and that light will overcome the darkness
Show me that love endures the greatest hurt; that it heals the ugliest of scars
