Leos Statement: Its Hard To Speak My Heart...
[LEO]
It’s hard to speak my heart
I’m not a man who bares his soul
I let the moment pass me by—
I stay where I am in control

I hide behind my work
Safe and sure of what to say...
I know I must seem hard
I know I must seem cold

I never touched that girl
You think I’d hurt a child yet?
I’d hardly seen her face before
I swear—I swore—we’d barely met

These people try to scare you
With things I’ve never said
I know it makes no sense
I swear I don’t know why...
You see me as I am
You can’t believe I’d lie
You can’t believe I’d do these deeds—
A little man who’s scared and blind
Too lost to find the words he needs

I never touched that child—
God! I never raised my hand!
I stand before you now
Incredibly afraid...

I pray you understand
