I saw a child today without a tear
Her arm was broken was my fear
Her dad stood smelling of alcohol
How it happened he could not recall

Not a sound made when the arm was set
We'll see her again, I will bet
Dad is reported that's what I do
We're able to save only a few

Day in and out children are hurt
People, we must stay on the alert
Not one more child do I want to see
Tearless and silent looking at me
