Break Free
Daddy starts yelling
And throws stuff around
Mommy sits quietly,
Not making a sound
Sissy's on her bed
Laying there crying
Deep down inside
All of them are dying
In a dark corner,
Behind the couch
I sit there watching
Filled up with doubt
I wonder what will happen
If they fall apart
Will it go back like it was
Hate filling our hearts?
Each passing day
Worse than before
Our home over-run
Be a weaponless war
The screaming gets louder
I cover my ears
Close my eyes and pray
That it will all disappear
When everything's quiet
No one saying a word
A silence unbroken
The air undisturbed
Then it starts all again
The world tumbling down
I listen for peace
But don't hear a sound
Day after day
I wait patiently
FOr that one special time
When we all can break free
