	Lyrics BEHIND CLOSED DOORS r. murdock A LITTLE CHILD MAKES YOU CRY WITH HER SMILE. YOU SEE THE FEAR AND ANGER ETCHED IN HER EYES. THE TRUTH IS STRANGLED HIDING BEHIND THE LIES. THIS HEART HAS FROZEN AT TENDER AGE OF NINE. ALTHOUGH SHE PRAYS EACH LONELY NIGHT NO ANSWERS COME FROM UP ABOVE. ALL SHE NEEDS IS HER MOTHER'S TOUCH, A GENTLE KISS, AND WORDS OF LOVE. CHORUS: YOU CAN HEAR THEM CRY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THEY'VE PLAYED THIS SCENE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE. YOU CAN HEAR THEM CRY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. ANOTHER CHILD DISPLAYED ON THE EVENING NEWS. A BIG TIME LAWYER DEFENDS HIS CLIENT'S VIEWS. THE PROSECUTION PUBLICLY STATES THEIR CASE. THEY'LL SHOW THE BRUISES ON LITTLE JOHNNY'S FACE. FATHER SWEARS HIS BOY FELL DOWN THE STAIRS, AND HE NEVER EVEN RAISED A HAND. BUT THEN HIS GUILTY FACE TURNED WHITE WITH FEAR WHEN THEY CALLED JOHNNY UP TO THE STAND. [CHORUS] THE ADOLESCENT INNOCENCE IS SINKING IN QUICKSAND. THROW OUT YOUR LINES 'CAUSE THEY'RE STILL REACHING FOR AN ANGEL'S HAND. ALTHOUGH SHE PRAYS EACH LONELY NIGHT, NO ANSWERS COME FROM UP ABOVE. ALL SHE NEEDS IS HER MOTHER'S TOUCH, A GENTLE KISS, AND WORDS OF LOVE. YOU CAN HEAR THEM CRY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THEY'VE PLAYED THIS SCENE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE. YOU CAN HEAR THEM CRY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. YOU MIGHT COVER YOUR EARS AND SHUT YOUR EYES BUT THOSE FRIGHTFUL SOUNDS WILL SHIVER YOUR WORLD TONIGHT, THE WORLD TONIGHT, YOUR WORLD TONIGHT, YEAH. YOU CAN HEAR THEM CRY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THEY'VE PLAYED THIS SCENE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE. YOU CAN HEAR THEM CRY, YOU CAN HEAR THEM CRY, YOU CAN HEAR THEM CRY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
