Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a _________
that she called home
Never know just where to turn for __________ from the storm
________ me to see the _________ across my mother's face
Every time my father's ______would put her in her place
Hearing all the ______ I would _________
in my room
Hoping it would be over soon
[Chorus]
_________ fade father, but the _______remains
the same
And I still remember how you kept me so _________
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I'm OK
I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child _________ "please no more"
Daddy, don't you understand the _______ you have done
To you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on
[Chorus]
It's not so easy to forget
All the ________you left along her neck
When I was _________________ cold stairs
And every day I'm ____ to come home
In ________ of what I might see there
[Chorus]
And I'm OK
I'm OK

So, were you right? Now discuss with other students
the topic: Violence
against women. What do you know
about it? Do you know how many women die in Spain every year because of this? Do you
know any particular case? Do you know what telephone number you have to dial in
case you , or anyone you know, is suffering from violence against women?
[Clue: The number of gaps they had to
fill in the song.]
Do you know other songs, films, books, etc., that deal
with this problem?
KEY
Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Hurt
me to see the pain
across my mother's face
Every time my father's fist would put her in her place
Hearing all the yelling
I would cry up
in my room
Hoping it would be over soon
[Chorus]
Bruises fade
father, but the pain
remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I'm OK
I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming "please no more"
Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have done
To you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on
[Chorus]
It's not so easy to forget
All the marks
you left along her neck
When I was thrown
against cold stairs
And every day I'm afraid to come home
In fear
of what I might see there
[Chorus]
And I'm OK
I'm OK
