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
