Have You Seen This Young Girl?
She's Lost Out There In The Cruel World
I've Put Her Face On These Pink Posters
Please Take A Look Come Closer
Her Photo Is On Milk Cartons
I'm Afraid She's Met Foul Play Or Larcen
For There's Still No Sign Of Her
Tell Me Have You Seen Her, Sir?
Or What About You Mam'?
No She's Not Out On The Lam
She's A Good Girl Just In A Jam
Same As You Or I Am
She Was Last Seen Leaving Class
Walking Away Really Fast
Followed By Some Sinister Stranger
Was She Running Away From Danger?
She Didn't Make It Home That Night
Not Even By The Morning's Light
And Fear Gripped Our Beaten-Hearts
Before That Cold-Numb Hurting Start
She's Never Stayed Away Before
I Still Sit Staring At The Door
We Told The Proper Authorities
Make This Search Top Priority!
We Paste Her Face Upon Billboards
and Prayer-Vigils Help Us Lord
and Garnered Television Spots
Still, Good News We Haven't Heard Or Got
It Has Now Been 3 Trying Years
Of Harder Waiting and Hot Spilt Tears
And I Don't Know Anymore How To Cope
Since We Lost Our Girl, Named Hope
* * * * * * *
Yes, Hope Is Somebody's Daughter
From A Kind Mother and Steadfast Father
and A Family Faithful To A Love Pact
So Please Give Us Our Sweet Hope Back
Everyone Have You Seen This Girl?
She's Lost Out There In This Big World
I've Put Her Face On Pink Posters
Please Take A Look Come Closer
Her Photo Is On Milk Cartons
Hope Is Too Beautiful For Martyrdom
Oh, There's Still No Sign Of Her
But I'll Keep Looking Everywhere
