In a house of 6,

There is a quiet sobbing

That comes from a daughter.

There is a loud cry from a son

Who is in despair.

There is anger and frustration

From a father filled with egotism and hatred.

There is quiet from two sons

Who are lost in their thoughts as things pass.

There is sadness and pity

From a mother of care and love.

Who hears those silent cries of the daughter?

Who hears the thunderous hurt of the son?

Who hears the hardened heart of the father?

Who hears the overwhelming emotions of the sons?

Who hears the cry for plea of the mother?

Who hears the brokeness of the family?
