Somewhere in a child's home
The children are scared
The parents are arguing
And the family is crying
Because daddy just got another drink
The smell of alcohol is common
The trash full of bottles
Somewhere in a child's home
Mommy just ran out crying
Because she could not handle it anymore
But she forgets her kids
Somewhere in a child's home
The house is too small
The family is too big
But somewhere in a child's home across town
The children are scared they won't be invited to a party
The parents are arguing about who's better
And the family is crying tears of joy
Somewhere in a child's home, every home is different
