Verse 1
Theres Another broken house
Another broken home
Belonged to an old lady who lives alone
Her husband died some years ago
The kids missed them more then she did
She didn’t have any motherly love
The father couldn’t protect them watching from above
Chorus
Daddy please send them the rain
Show us that you care mama no this aint fair
Makin us live with this pain
Misused confused abuse
This life we did not choose
Wait to late, hate
This can’t be our fate
Verse 2
Once a month or so they’d go to town
It was the only time they didn’t frown
Because they had safe place to stay
Then mother came and took them away
Chorus
Verse 3
She hit them so hard once
For something that they never said
And it only took a couple months
And then the white complexions red
Memories that they’ll never miss
All the times they ran and hid
And you ask how I know this
I was one of the kids
