"Child Bride" -- tribute to FLDS runaways

I wrote and performed this original with my little sister! :)
Lyrics:
I'm all but gone
in the middle of this land of heat and bone
This coarse wind blowin'
stretches all across the fire fire and the stone

This sickness growing
rotting from the inside out like an old tree
has got me thinking
what i ought to do for what was done to me

(chorus)
Guide me home
this trouble's just too much for me to bear
guide me me home
me soles are growing thin and my eyes are showing wear

These hands are wanting
though the others tore the skirt from the seams
these things we bear
the sisters and the mothers only dream

(chorus)

Don't know where you've gone to
but I hope I'll see you there

Did both of you write this? I saw the description wording and I thought it looked that way.

[existentialistcat]

@thegorillasnake Well I wrote the lyrics and stuff but we worked out how it would sound together.
