They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears 
 They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears 
 Forgive and forget, all the while 
 Love and pain become one and the same 
 In the eyes of a wounded child 
    Because hell, hell is for children 
 And you know that their little lives can become such a mess 
 Hell hell is for children 
 And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh   
 It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing 
 They blacken your eyes, and then apologize 
 You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing 
 Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy 
 Tell grandma you fell off the swing   
 No, hell is for children   
 Hell, hell is for hell 
 Hell is for hell, hell is for children   
 Hell, hell is for hell 
 Hell is for hell, hell is for children   
 Hell, hell is for hell 
 Hell is for hell, hell is for children   
 Hell is for children 
 Hell is for children
