lyrics

2004, the year my brother was born.
There was a day where 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 than diamonds.
And he has been treating her as less than the dirt in his soles for reasons unknown.
Why?
And I can’t forget the look in that devil’s eyes
When he stared at me ready to take my life.

My brother’s father loves drugs just as much as hitting my mother.
I was too 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.
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 than diamonds.
And he has been treating her as less than the dirt in his soles for reasons unknown.
Why?
And I can’t forget the look in that devil’s eyes
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 believe God showed His face to me.

Maybe, just maybe, He sees me.
I’ll never forget the look in that devil’s eyes.
