Cathy's a wanted woman in the U.S
She's been on Americas Most Wanted List
She thinks there's a warrant out for her arrest
Down in Georgia
Where do you imagine this woman has done
Did she go on a rampage with knife and a gun
Or did she just take her young daughter and run from the torture.
Lucy was 5 when they ran from a very respectable man
Pillar of his Southern city the child must have lied.
But Cathy believed her and fought for her life
Not longer subservient docile young wife
She fought through the system could not keep her safe from the screaming
I first met Cathy in a refuge and Maine
She'd been on the run since she could not explain
Why Lucy would have to see Daddy again the next evening.
The Underground Railroad was running again and they'd climbed on board
Soon it would take them away they could never return.
The next time I heard from them a year or more gone
Cathy and Lucy were living beyond
The reach of the system that couldn't respond to their pleading
To Auckland and New Zealand they chosen to fly
Praying that justice would allow them to stay
But ten years of court hearings stood in the way of their freedom.
The battle was long and the outcome uncertain in every turn
But Cathy would never surrender the stake were too high.
Heroines come un a myraid forms
Courage not only braving the storm
There are times when keeping children from harm means the leaving
Leaving her friends and her family torn
Cathy was willing tp face down the storm
Of the ones believed that she should have withdrawn though still bleeding.
Would any of us have the courage to do what this woman has done
Yet you asked her she'd say she had no choice at all
Cathy's a wanted woman in the U.S
She's been on "Americas Most Wanted" list
She thinks there's a warrant out for her arrest down in Georgia.
