[Intro]
Mm
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never knew just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
Every time my father's fist would put her in her place
Hearing all the yelling, I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon
[Chorus]
Bruises fade, Father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake, I look back at yesterday
And I'm OK
[Verse 2]
I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming, "Please, no more"
Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have done?
To you, it's just a memory, but for me, it still lives on
