Give Us a Happy Home

He's been wounded already in the struggle of life

Battered by a raging storm of strife

Caught in a whirl wind of heartbreak and pain

And blinded by it's driving rain

The innocent victim of crimes of the heart

He's witnessed his young world being torn apart

He can't understand why mum and dad

Have forsaken the family they had

So he whispers his prayer every evening

As he kneels by his bedside alone

Put mummy and daddy together again

And give us a happy home

Please give us a happy home

At night he could hear them in their room down the hall

The anger rang clearly through his bedroom wall

He silently listened tucked snug in his bed

To each bitter word they said

Now he and mum each have a room of their own

He see's dad on weekends and they talk on the phone

His questions need answers but all they will say

Is you'll understand why someday

Oh he tries to act just like he's a man

And hold all the hurt inside

But it's hard for a little boy to understand

Grown up reasons for goodbye
