Ingrid D. Johnson - OPIUM BRIDE
They call her the opium bride
'Cause, she's running for her life
A payment for a debt daddy couldn't repay
So they took his child when they took his life
So they took his child when they took his life
Sold away at twelve years 'cause she was the only gold
Her father had to give
Those men without no souls she remembered
How her mother screamed and the way her father died
On the day they came for her and he lost all control
They call her the opium bride
'Cause, she's running for her life
A payment for a debt daddy couldn't repay
So they took his child when they took his life
So they took his child when they took his life
All it took was a single shot
One second for her heart to drop
When she heard that gun go off
On that cold september morning
So quietly, she slipped away
And in her heart she said a prayer
God please, protect my mom
And welcome home my dad
They call her the opium bride
'Cause, she's running for her life
A payment for a debt daddy couldn't repay
So they took his child when they took his life
So they took his child when they took his life
Now, where is the justice?
And where is the mercy?
And where is society
When this happens everyday?
And where is the government?
Where are the law makers?
Where are the leaders?
To whom this may concern?
To whom does this concern?
They call her the opium bride
'Cause, she's running for her life
A payment for a debt daddy couldn't repay
So they took his child when they took his life
So they took his child when they took his life
They call her the opium bride
'Cause, she's running for her life
A payment for a debt daddy couldn't repay
So they took his child when they took his life
So they took his child when they took his life
