Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dear Kitty, what have they done?
When so many lifes are lost, how can a war be want.
Dear Kitty, you showed the world.
You made a dream come true, when you told us about this girl.
Dear Kitty.
You kept all her secrets save.
Listening each day and while she sleep.
Your the voice when she can′t speak.
Dear Kitty.
Where do whe go?
When you run from who you are and lose everyone you know.
Dear Kitty.
You lost a friend but words can't come a life so a story never ends.
Dear Kitty.
You kept all her secrets save.
Listening each day and while she sleep.
Your the voice when she can′t speak.
Dear Kitty.
What have they done when somany lifes are lost how can a war be want.
Dear kitty.
You kept all her secrets save.
Listening each day and while she sleep.
Your the voice when she can't speak.
Your the voice when she can't speak.




Dear Kitty.
Dear Kitty.

Overall Meaning

The song "Dear Kitty" by Mainstreet is a tribute to Anne Frank, a Jewish girl who kept a diary while in hiding with her family during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam. The song starts with the lines "Dear Kitty, what have they done? When so many lives are lost, how can a war be want?" which reflect the confusion and despair felt by many during World War II. The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "Dear Kitty," which is a reference to the name Anne gave to her diary.


The song goes on to acknowledge the role that Anne's diary played in informing the world about the experiences of Jewish people during the Holocaust. The lyrics say "Dear Kitty, you showed the world. You made a dream come true, when you told us about this girl." The song also acknowledges the important role that Anne's diary played in giving a voice to those who were unable to speak for themselves. The lyrics say "Your (Kitty's) the voice when she can't speak."


The song ends with the lines "Dear Kitty, you kept all her secrets safe. Listening each day and while she sleeps. You're the voice when she can't speak. Dear Kitty." These lines are a reminder that Anne's diary not only provided a glimpse into the life of a Jewish person during the Holocaust but also served as a personal record of her thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
