He's hiding behind a screen tonight
A stranger in the glow of pale blue light
He knows the words that sound so kind
Gifts and promises that cloud a young mind
"Hey there, kid, I know a place
With games and candy, let's make haste"
It starts so harmless, just one friend
But darkness waits around the bend
He's a shadow lurking in plain sight
A predator masked by the quiet night
Don't trust the smile, don't take the ride
He's a danger that's hidden inside
Be aware, be alert, don't stray too far
Stranger's words can leave a scar
A whispered lie, a luring call
Stay safe, don't let your spirit fall
For every child who walks away
There's one who might be led astray
He offers ice cream and a fun-filled ride
A tempting trip, nowhere to hide
"Just a drive, I swear it's fine
We'll be back home before the chime"
Most say no and run back home
But one young boy felt too alone
He climbed inside, too trusting, too fast
Not knowing it could be his last
His words are sweet but filled with harm
Luring innocence with false charm
Be cautious, child, don't trust too fast
Some shadows from the past still last
Be aware, be alert, don't stray too far
Stranger's words can leave a scar
A whispered lie, a luring call
Stay safe, don't let your spirit fall
For every child who walks away
There's one who might be led astray
The man was caught, his secrets found
A trial held, his sins unbound
The judge's gavel sealed his fate
Long years in prison would now await
But justice can't erase the past
For scars of pain forever last
Though he's locked away, behind a wall
The memory haunts, and echoes call
Parents, watch the signs so clear
Teach your children to stay near
Not all strangers bring good things
Some wear smiles but have sharp stings
Trust your gut, protect your own
Guard each child till they're grown
Be aware, be alert, don't stray too far
Stranger's words can leave a scar
A whispered lie, a luring call
Stay safe, don't let your spirit fall
For every child who walks away
There's one who might be led astray
Years have passed, but the pain remains
A haunted man who bears the chains
The boy who left, now a broken man
Still fights the memories when he can
It wasn't just a moment lost
It's a life rebuilt at a heavy cost
Trust was shattered, fear now lives
A past that steals, a heart that forgives
In memory of those who fell behind
A warning call for all mankind
Protect the young, keep evil at bay
And never let innocence fade away
Let's break the cycle, end the pain
So no child suffers this hurt again
