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
She suffers, forever her life is changed
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
Take my burning hands Well, I want redemption
Show me who I am Give me redemption
Help me to understand
God, help me find... my redemption...
Redemption... My redemption
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
She suffers, forever her life is changed
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
Take my burning hands Well, I want redemption
Show me who I am Give me redemption
Help me to understand
God, help me find... my redemption...
Redemption... My redemption
