LYRICS
Searching for truth can be a fool's game
Some people lie right through the smiles
Don't rip the heart off of your sleeve
And is it wrong to carry on with all you ever knew?
The curtains drawn, you're hanging on to all you thought was true
You know the answer isn't lost on you
'Cause I know the answer isn't lost on you
You've got your own fight to choose
And the world might kick you when you're down
They count you out but you refuse
You might lie bleeding on the ground
Close your eyes, realize some hearts, they can't be sold
A lonely crime is being alive, you know you're not alone
You are the answer you've been looking for
You are the answer you've been looking for
Sometimes you know that it ain't easy
We're on our own from the day we're born
Don't let the bastards steal your soul
'Cause they don't see you're gold, you're gold
The world is crazy again
She said it's never been sane, oh
Here we are, you and me, tryna make the changes
And I believe that I can see a better time
'Cause you are the answer you've been looking for
You are the answer I've been looking for
You are the answer

This brought up a lot of emotions in me. I witnessed abuse throughout my childhood for as far back as I can remember. I’ll never forget getting hit in the eye with a hanger when I was 4 years old and being coached on how to lie about how it happened. I’ll never forget the cries, the anger, the feeling of being helpless, the way it felt to have my hair yanked, the way I’d flash back to seeing my other family member get her hair yanked while it was happening to me, the overwhelming fear of being alone in a house with one of my abusers. And the fact that she was married to my other abuser. It’s painful but I’m so proud of myself for ending that nightmare cycle.

I wish I could erase everyone's trauma, however, reading comments, people are so strong and resilient and whilst people are out there worrying about offending someone, don't, decent people don't mean to offend, and decent people aren't offended, I'm too tired to spell and gramma check , if that's your only problem in life, smile, be happy!

This really hit home for me!! 😞😞 I am still dealing with trauma from my childhood and thankfully, I was smart enough and strong enough to leave my abusive relationship. Best decision I ever made. I stopped the cycle of violence in my family. Much love to you John!! Thank you for this song and for promoting a much needed organization!! ❤️❤️❤️
