The Ghost

[Verse 1]
Where am I? What happened to me?
I remember the sun, the grass, a tree
And the sisters, the hateful sisters
Always angry, always beating me

[Verse 2]
And the laundry, the iron press
Working hard till late at night
No time for me to be a child
No colour, no joy, no light

[Verse 3]
Now I find myself alone
I see shadows of my friends
They are weeping, they are afraid
I call out but make no sound

[Verse 4]
Again the sun and that lonely tree
A lifeless child hangs low, that child is me
A victim of the church and the "love" they bestow
On the shortest branch I see a crow
