Dark Days

It was 2004
The yar my brother was born
There was a day when I didn't know if
I would see the sun rise again
She's been selling herself for less than gold
But she's worth more that diamonds
He's been treating her as less than the dirt in his soles
For reasons unknown
Why?
I can't forget the look in that devil's eye
When he stared at me ready to take my life
My brother's father loved drugs
Just as much as hitting my mother
I was to young to understand it
Too innocent to know what was happening
In front of me
Will I ever see the sun rise again?
Will I live to tell this tale?
Running, and hiding, and screaming
Will I live to tell this tale?
Mother - is the name for God on my lips
Mother!
Mother is the name for God
There is not a hand in those clouds
There is no one watching me.
No one to save me
No one sees me
She's been selling herself for less than gold
But she's worth more that diamonds
He's been treating her as less than the dirt in his soles
For reasons unknown
Why?
I can't forget the look in that devil's eye
When he stared at me ready to take my life
An act of kindness or coincidence?
I honestly couldn't say
This was the first time I believed
God showed his face to me
Maybe, just maybe (maybe) he sees me
I'll never forget (I'll never forget)
The look in that devil's eyes.
