They said we couldn’t make it
We said we’d give it a try
And now I’m working away from home
Just so we can survive.

My wife I know she loves me
My kids I know they try
Baby know I’d do anything
To lighten up your life.

And now there’s storms around us
Try to forget, just try
But my mind is on my daughter
Struggling for her life

My son, he’s lost his way
And I know how hard he tries
But every time he says he loves me
I know that it’s a lie

My daughter she’s broken,
I don’t know how hard she tries
To keep her demons at bay
She no longer thrives

My family is fractured
But we’re still trying
To keep us all together
Help us, God Almighty.
I tried to write this from my dad’s perspective.
