Everyone has smiles on faces,
All say they are trying to do their best.
A future is decided by committee,
It’s the best choice for one and all.
All say they are trying to do their best.
A future is decided by committee,
It’s the best choice for one and all.
Did they listen to the one it concerns?
The one sat quietly in the corner.
Observing without taking part,
All voices louder than hers.
The one sat quietly in the corner.
Observing without taking part,
All voices louder than hers.
Agreements are made, hands are shook.
More smiley faces as names are signed.
Papers pass from folder to folder,
All designed to make life easy.
More smiley faces as names are signed.
Papers pass from folder to folder,
All designed to make life easy.
Who has to live this decision?
Not those signatures, that’s for sure.
She sits quietly, on her own,
They are adults, they know best.
Not those signatures, that’s for sure.
She sits quietly, on her own,
They are adults, they know best.
Now the room is quiet again,
She stares at artwork on the wall.
Lost in a time and place of her own,
Accepting her fate, resigned.
