All Them Ghosts

I know he beat on her with his belt
And all her life she cried inside
She never had the words to say how she felt
And how she kept it out of sight
For the men who never gave a damn
Her husband, her father
And their goddamn pride

He left her with three kids in a foreign land
One of them was a rape child
She never had the words to say how she felt
And all her life she cried inside
Coz of the man who broke her heart
The father of her children
A cheater and a liar

I know he beat on her with his belt
I know what that one did in that bed
And all my life I know I'll try
To make it right

And all their lives they cried inside
And some of them tears
Keep flowin' in my veins
And all my life I know I'll try
To dry them and maybe one day
Be the first of us to smile inside

I know he beat on her with his belt
