THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE ..
Its mid 70s the families of liverpool they struggle
Born babies the products of scandal and trouble
A woman in love at the time with a drinker
mentality destructive disturbed man dark thinker
He cared not a lot for his sons wife or health
Inside relives torture he's suffered himself
The wife didn't know this she cant understand
This was not what the vows read when gave her left hand
For better for worse though is what she vowed
You may kiss the bride now the priest said out loud
Fell pregnant..late teens so marriage a must
Her father a catholic so sinful is lust
Time it went by as the cracks just got deeper
Violent..she left him but he wants to keep'er
Her babies she loves them ..armed robberies clothed them occupation her husband all types of crime
No income to feed when her husband serves time
mentally unwell she shows no affection
Drugs drink abuse and now she has been sectioned
Her eldest a soldier got murdered at war
Lonely her youngest has no one no more
He grows up all messed up
A daughter now blessed up
He still cuts his chest up
To bleed out his pain
His daughter the product of unhinged insane
To save his daughter his friends tried to save him
Understanding non judging time they all gave him
Medical emotional support he was given
Progressive reflective his darkness was hidden
His cousin found hanging and father found dead
"You still got me" his daughter she said
She bandaged her dad up and wiped up his tears
This was her birthday of 12 painful years
His struggling best friend who helped raise his daughter
When he could not feed her..his friend would support her
Tragedy struck and spread to next level
We had nurtured a soul long claimed by the DEVIL
