Punishment Without Crime [Verse 4] A mother waits with arms open wide, Only to feel her heart ripped from inside. They say “future harm,” but where’s the proof? Why is love the price of this uncaring truth? Behind secret doors, no voices allowed, Judges and laws that silence the crowd. Families torn by a system so cold, Trading the young for control untold. [Chorus] Punishment without crime, how can this be? Snatching innocence in secrecy. No handcuffs, no trial, no proof, no sign, Just lives torn apart, punishment without crime. [Verse 5] Children in care, gagged and alone, Wondering why they’ve been taken from home. Their laughter fades, their spirits confined, In a system where love is left behind. Social workers act with unchecked power, Judging futures in their ivory tower. No one to challenge, no one to fight, Just endless shadows swallowing light. [Bridge 2] We talk of freedom, we talk of rights, But who will stand for these darkest nights? For every mother who weeps in despair, And every child lost to a system unfair. The risk of harm is not a crime, How can they steal the hands of time? Protect the children, but do it with care, Not by tearing apart the love that’s there. [Chorus] Punishment without crime, how can this be? Snatching innocence in secrecy. No handcuffs, no trial, no proof, no sign, Just lives torn apart, punishment without crime. [Verse 6] Every year, the numbers grow, Hundreds of lives they’ll never know. Strangers raising what’s been betrayed, While broken hearts are left in the shade. What future harm can justify pain? What kind of justice builds shackles in vain? For every voice silenced, every mother’s plea, We must rise and demand transparency. [Outro 2] No more shadows, no more lies, No more babies with stolen cries. The courts must open, the truth must shine, No more punishment without a crime. [Final Chorus] Punishment without crime, it must not stand, We must unite, we must demand: Freedom for families, the innocent’s right, To keep their love in the darkest night. Punishment without crime, how can this be? We fight for justice, for transparency. No handcuffs, no trial, no proof, no sign, End this era of punishment without crime. , Funk, Soul, Song Production, Sad, Chill, Angry,
