For the past two weeks I have pondered writing the lyrics to another @familyprotection song. It seems Don Mclean's 'Vincent lends itself well to both lyric parody and the message that needs to be delivered. Indeed it is a sad but beautiful song. Together with the Grip of Evil (The Sound of Silence) and The Answer Is found in You and Me, (Blowing in the Wind) these songs are the start of an @familyprotection sing-a-long song book.
Please join me in this sing-a-long of Scary Scary Sight, a song parody on ballad, Vincent. It does not matter how good you sing. Only that you sing from the heart for the love of children and family, and the hope that one day all may live free. If it help to read the words as Don sings I understand.
Scary Scary Sight
Scary, scary sight
Social workers at your door
It's you that they are coming for
To kidnap seems to be their only goal
They need to pay their bills
Separations only kills
The CPS in fostered chills
with broken homes so scattered on the land
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your fanily
How we tried to set you free
They would not listen to your parents cry
Perhaps some day they'll try.
Scary, scary sight
fists that fly in heated rage
prostituted under age
Reflect in voiceless eyes off'ring a clue
faces that we knew
Mourning loss of somber strain
Weathered children lined in pain
Are traded now for cash upon demand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your family
And how we tried to set you free
They would not listen, they did not hear you cry
Perhaps someday they'll try.
For we could not help you
But still your heart was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that scary, scary night
You took your life as victims often do
But I could have told you, child
This world was never meant
For one as innocent as you
Scary, scary sight
parents face judicial halls
verdicts as the gable falls
With eyes that watch and tears that cannot hide
The pain they feel inside
The bleeding heart that cannot die
broken lives, an endless cry
with hopes and dreams that now will never grow.
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your family
In death you tried to set us free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
I pray one day they will.

Hard hitting lyrics that paint a very ugly picture of the reality so many families face because cps entered their lives.
great effort @enjoywithroy, I can imagine it takes some time to come up the lyrics.
