Footprint

Scar between the shoulders
Scar on the back of his head
The sole between the shoulders
The heel on the back of his head
Mother said it looks like a footprint
And she knows it very well
Mother said it looks like a footprint
And she’s hiding it very well
Dark spot on the baby
He’ll never be that strong
His face upon the carpet
He’s waiting for so long
So long so long so long so long
Mother said it looks like a footprint
And she knows it very well
Footsteps in the backroom
He knows there’s something wrong
His face upon the carpet
He never felt so strong
So strong so strong so strong
