Betrayal:

Father can you hear me, My heart is aching It feels like its raining The pain is overflowing My head is bursting My soul is calling My babies are crying Father can you hear me There are Fatherless once again A covenant made, a covenant betrayed Lust, greed, deceit and pain I can’t bear the shame I only hear the rain as it beats against my window pane This soul of mines feels exhausted and drained These pillows are soaked and forever stained Sorrow and tears are my new name Was I born to be broken and torn, battered and defeated He said, he loved me, He said, he cared He swore, he would never leave me But his words were false and his promises were all in vain Father can you hear me, on my bending knees calling out your name Release me please, Give me some ease So I can cease this pain and be free.
