lyrics

I saw him last night on the TV news
a man just like me saying he’d been abused
I tried not to cry but I had nowhere hide
when that man shed his tears like a broken child

for years he’d been silent, days came and went
he kept it all inside him, his lonely lament
no one believed him, when he spoke as a child
they called him wild and restless, he learned never to confide

he looked to the distance, a protection from the past
but when you break all connections, love will not last

and Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers,
can’t always protect you from those family friends,
or those who would guide you on the duties of others
as they twist you and turn you till you break in the end

but now he’s telling his story while others still hide
the pain and the anger, a slow poison inside
In the dark of the night, hidden from sight
a man cries in pain though he knows it’s not right

when the pain and the anger, the guilt and the shame
came from family friends that no one will name

Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers,
can’t always protect you from family friends,
or those who would guide you on the duties of others
as they twist you and turn you till you break in the end
they’ll twist you and turn you those family friends
