All these women dealing with pressure
I’m wired up ready to give another lecture
I place blame all around our culture
The leaders, the public, and all those engulfing them in torture

It’s on my conscience every day I breathe
It’s in my dreams every night that I sleep
It’s in my thoughts as if they were personal memories

The notion of hidden secrets is long lost
Once you’re made aware of the situations and the cost
I speak on behalf of the boss
Slavery isn’t why Christ died on the cross

Human trafficking, you’ve heard it once you shouldn’t have to hear it twice
Young kids being snatched up and grabbed to be sold off for a price
Since when did a life have a label for money to satisfy greed
Robbing them a chance at choice and free will for some sort of sick need

Where is this world going
Naked behavior and lustful sins have it all downward spiraling
Where has compassion gone
Each day the sun rises it has become a bleaker and weaker dawn

Hundreds of thousands hidden away kept silent
All to be rooted in experiences that are violent
The pleasure that many seek is what makes them weak
Exploiting humanity is so sickening, we need more willing to set them free

The addictions being fed are what result in so many dead
Drugs, alcohol, and sex shouldn’t be what resides in your head
With all the problems more people need to get involved, but choose to ignore them instead
When given the choice to have a voice, sound the alarm don’t be one who fled

Standing in the gap for someone else is necessary
Without others, what is the meaning of our life’s journey
When you fall you hope to be caught
When you’ve risen you should help someone else who hit rock bottom

Treat others how you want to be treated
It is so simplistic
Let’s rescue all of those who’re being beaten
It is a challenge, but so well worth it
