8 Days Page #5

---

So much that I wanna forget.

But God saved me,

so I know I'll get through this.

I can't undo

what you've done to me..

...but I can make sure that you

never hurt another girl.

(Amber)

From that point on

my mom and I realized

we could not be silent anymore.

[instrumental music]

Darkness taking me tonight

Afraid and terrorized inside

Dreading what I know

will come

Brutalized by evil ones..

I can't do this no more.

Save me save me

Eight days I'm fading

Save me..

This morning we are talking

about human sex trafficking.

It is a silent epidemic

in this country

affecting children of all ages,

both boys and girls

and we are joined this morning

by one of those victims.

'This is Amber

and her mother.'

And, Amber, we will get

to your story in a moment.

A miraculous rescue

about a year ago

but now you've become

a voice for the victims.

Yes, I have and what

people don't know is

this is happening

all around us

and we need to do

something about it.

We need to be that voice

for the victims

we need to raise awareness

and get people to make

a difference, make a change.

Mm. Mom what happened here?

[sighs]

Unfortunately, this is real.

My child was kidnapped

and trafficked

by friends that we knew

in our neighborhood.

It's a miracle..

...that she was found.

God heard my prayers

and he rescued my daughter.

I just want to say thank you

from the bottom of my heart

for you being here

and supporting this cause

to stop human trafficking.

Um, together

we can make a difference.

So thank you so much.

God Bless.

I'll rise like a rose

through the thorns

Let your beauty

shine through

All the pain

I'll rise..

This is happening

all around us

and we need to do

something about it.

(Amber)

Today, there are more

people trafficked

and treated like slaves than

ever before in human history.

This crime is no longer

just in red-light districts.

It's in our schools

and in our communities.

It's in-between our houses.

This is not

about class or race.

No child is immune

to trafficking

and conditions that shorten

life expectancy

to three to seven years.

This is wrong.

This is beyond unacceptable

and we have to do

something about it.

My life was saved.

But what about the others?

What about the other children..

...that have been

neglected and forgotten?

This is not okay.

Our fight will not be over

until every child is safe.

(Amber)

There is hope.

Agencies like

Homeland Security Investigation

are rescuing victims and

helping them become survivors

but we need more.

Lawmakers, officers, artists,

advocates, counselors.

Everyone should work together.

We need safe homes.

We can save lives.

Every person matters.

If we do or say nothing,

then the criminals win.

'We can't let that happen.'

And talking is good,

but talking is not enough.

We must do.

We must protect our children.

It's up to us

to fight this crime

of child sex trafficking.

Together we can

make a difference.

Together we can stop this crime.

That's right.

This ends now!

[crowd cheering]

[Of Rocks And Roots singing

"Fade Out"]

Finally walking in a fog

Haunted whispers follow me

Flashes of what I was

Blinding what I can be

I have survived this fight

I have survived this fight

Let me be

Let me be

I won't be tied by you

I won't be tied by you

Tied by you

Tied by you

Fade out like a

Fade out like a

Clouded memory

Clouded memory

To live is all I can do

To live is all I can do

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh ooh ooh

Oh oh ooh ooh

White heart tested by mine

Heeded the honor recognition

Golden glory

shining below

I have found my place

I have survived this fight

I have survived this fight

Let me be

Let me be

I won't be tied by you

I won't be tied by you

Tied by you

Tied by you

Fade out like a

Fade out like a

Clouded memory

Clouded memory

To live is all I can do

To live is all I can do

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh ooh ooh

Oh oh ooh ooh

Clouded memory

Clouded memory

To live is all I can do

To live is all I can do

[instrumental music]

Save me save me

Eight days I'm fading

Save me

Take me away
