I wasn't born yesterday,
For some of my choices I had to pay
I had a few mountains I had to climb
But some of those valleys
They we're not mine
Chorus:
I was a victim of the circumstances
I've been living life and taking my chances
But from the mess came a message and
I've got a story to tell
Just a little girl with an empty hand
Missing daddy, couldn't understand
He was gone two days and one long night
He came home broke and ready to fight
Chorus:
Bridge:
You see the things that we go through
Might not just be for you
But for somebody you must tell it to
When you've been there before you can open the door
And help somebody with the truth
To make it through
Where's my Mama, she works all night
She's got seven hungry kids and a man that wants to fight
I was standing in a corner, A silent voice but
My soul was screaming I'm in need of Love
Chorus:
