The Sidewalk Where She Vanished - Where did she go, that girl with dreams? Into the night, into the screams

The Daily Song by Thom Hartmann

https://hartmannreport.com/p/the-sidewalk-where-she-vanished


Haunting audio track on his web page.

[Verse 1]
She stepped outside, just chasing light
A bag in hand, a heart upright
No warning, just the black-clad men
And silence swallowed her again

No sirens wailed, no rights were read
Just asphalt where she used to tread
And no one saw, or dared to speak
In shadows now, the strong hunt weak

[Chorus]
Where did she go, that girl with dreams?
Into the night, into the screams
They say her name, then choke it down
In every frightened, silenced town
We’re not so free, we’re not so brave
When fear becomes the flag we wave

[Verse 2]
He baked his bread, he paid his dues
He stood for love, not left or right views
But still they came, like ghosts in black
And sent him where he won’t come back

A brother cries in Dallas heat
No father’s arms, no shoes, no street
And letters fade, and hope burns slow
As tyrants strike the final blow
