As things start to surface
And tears [C] come on down
The scars [G] of a childhood
In [D] a small [A] town
[D]
The hurt she [G] pushed in
Was starting [C] to show
Now she'll do [G] some talking
[D] But he'll [G] never know
The tables have turned now
With a child [C] of her own
But she's blind to [G] the difference
What's taught is [D] what's known
[G] And numb by [G] reaction
And stripped of [C] the trust
[F] Her [C]
young [G] heart is broken
[D] Not aware that [G] it's just
A family
[C] tradition
The strength of [G] this land
[A] Where what's right and wrong
In [D] the back of a hand
[C] Turns girls into women
[G] And avoids [Em] the man
The [G] rights [C] of the children
Have nowhere [G] to stand
The rights of [C] the children
Have nowhere [G] to stand
The memories of children
[C] Are [G]
written [C] in stone
And some they [G] get buried
Not to [D] be shown
[G] [D]
But still they [G] do linger
Deep down [C] inside
Like a seed that's [G] been planted
[D] And won't be [G] denied
A [D] family [C] tradition
The strength of [G] this land
[A] Where what's right and wrong
In [D] the back of [A] a hand
[C] Turns women
[G] [D] into [Em] men
The rights [C] of the children
Have nowhere to stand
The rights of the children
Have nowhere to stand
[G] [N]
