I wrote this song when my son seemed to have everything going against him. Whichever way he turned every door seemed closed. The song is about the pain you feel when you see your child hurting. I changed it to be about a daughter so that he wouldn't realise it was about him!
This side of love Gave me no hope
This side of love Came home today
Eyes that could not shine
For the life she left behind
Opened up her soul and threw her smile away
Broken and divided
The lies that she decided to believe
Battered, bruised and bleeding
Your heart will take some healing yes it’s true my love
But, tomorrow is another day
This child of mine
everything I have
She fills the void I have within
Driving me insane
To see her in this pain
She’ll never leave my arms again
Broken and divided
The lies that she decided to believe
Battered, bruised and bleeding
Your heart will take some healing yes it’s true my love
But, tomorrow is another day
Finally united
An end to all the fighting and the pain
Battered, bruised and bleeding
Your heart will take some healing yes it’s true my love
But, tomorrow is another day
