verse 1 Father comes home from work, and he's scared to death Mother cries for the kid, and the note she read Father runs to the table, he says "What's going on?" Mother cries desperately, "Our little baby's gone!" Do you know where your children are? Because it's now twelve o'clock If they're somewhere out on the street Just imagine how scared they are verse 2 She wrote that she is tired of stepdaddy using her Saying that he'll buy her things, while sexually abusing her Just think that she's all alone somewhere out on the street How will this girl survive? She ain't got nothing to eat! Do you know where your children are? Because it's now twelve o'clock If they're somewhere out on the street Just imagine how scared they are C-Part (x4) Save me (from this living hell) Save me (cause I don't wanna know) Instrumental Part verse 3 Now she's on the move, she's off to Hollywood She says she wanna be a star, she heard the money's good She gets off from the train station, the man is waiting there "I'll show you where the money is, girl just let down your hair" He's taking her on the streets, of Sunset Boulevard She's selling her body hard, girl that will take you far The police come 'round the corner, somebody there they told He's arresting this little girl, that's only twelve years old! Do you know where your children are? Because it's now twelve o'clock If they're somewhere out on the street Just imagine how scared they are Then Fade it out....

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde la tragédie de l'absence et de la vulnérabilité des enfants dans un monde cruel. On y suit un père et une mère, inquiets pour leur enfant disparu, tout en dévoilant la réalité dévastatrice à laquelle certains enfants sont confrontés, comme l'abus et la vie dans la rue. Une jeune fille cherche à fuir sa situation en tentant de percer à Hollywood, mais elle se retrouve piégée dans un cycle d'exploitation, soulevant ainsi des questions sur la sécurité et le bien-être des plus jeunes. Le message central rappelle à chacun l'importance de savoir où se trouvent nos enfants et de veiller à leur sécurité, surtout dans un contexte où de nombreux dangers les guettent.
