Redemption

A young girl's eyes are filled with pain
 She suffers from years of guilt and shame
 She sleeps at night afraid of the dark
 You know she fears always the tapping of daddy's knock
 He says he's there to love her
 He'll only do what's best and right
 And then he starts to hold her
 He touches her skin, she prays for redemption
 Nobody sees behind her smile
 Nobody hears the screams of a wounded child
 Her secret burns inside her soul
 You know she quit fighting and built her heart of stone
 Another night is closing
 She hears his footsteps at the door
 His passion hungry for her
 A fire so hot, it shattered her innocence
 Take my burning hands, I want redemption
 Show me who I am Give me redemption
 Help me to understand
 God, help me find my redemption
 Her daddy smells of smoke and gin
 A prisoner of the lust that feed within
 And mother's face is black and bruised
 A lonely broken victim of daddy's rule
 And when the world is sleeping
 A voice is heard in deep despair
 The sound of endless weeping
 A desolate child whose sanity's questioned
 Take my burning hands, I want redemption
 Show me who I am Give me redemption
 Help me to understand
 God, help me find my redemption
 Give me redemption
 Well, I need redemption, oh yeah
 Redemption...
 A young girl's eyes are filled with pain

 Take my burning hands Well, I want redemption
