In that moment I felt all your strife
As I felt the blade of your knife
Cut through the heart of my soul
You never understanding it's true role

My blood spilling on the floor
You turned your back on all we adored
What changed that moment of life
Making you see only the blade of your knife

Innocence is now but a torrid scar
Everybody's gaze lands on me from afar
You took the beauty from my sleep
Nightmares just make me want to leap

You were lord and master of this house
Me and the kids tip toed like a mouse
Your every desire your every wish
I served the next meal upon your dish

No longer am I who I was inside
You took away every ounce of self pride
But that moment they took me out that door
My true light and soul started to soar

Never again will I feel your pain
No more of my soul will you gain
My spirit soars above the clouds
I now speak my truth out loud

I walk this journey now alone
No more sins do I need to atone
This thing: freedom, I this day do feel
No more laughter will you steal

My children's innocence need not halt
I must teach them it is not their fault
They must learn to see beauty within
On that day their life will truly begin

Now you will understand my cage
There who will put up with your rage
You stare wistful through those bars
Finally we see the beauty of the stars

I pray everday to my God above
In his grace I will lay my love
Everyday we become stronger
In fear we live no longer
