THERE IS A SOUND FROM THE KITCHEN
AND IT'S A SOUND HE'S HEARD A THOUSAND
TIMES BEFORE
WHEN HE HEARS HIS MOTHER CRYING
HE RUNS AWAY AND HIDES INSIDE HIS ROOM
BUT THERE IS NO ESCAPING
THE ANGER IN HIS FATHER'S VOICE
AND WHEN THE TEARS ARE FALLING
HE FALLS DOWN TO HIS KNEES AND PRAYS
JUST HOLD ME AND LOVE ME
TOUCH THIS CHILD OF LOVE
AND TRY YOUR BEST TO SAVE THIS
BROKEN HOME
HIS LITTLE ARMS ARE BLACK AND BLUE
AND THERE'S A LITTLE CUT RIGHT
UNDER HIS EYE
EVERY NIGHT HE LIES AWAKE
AND FROM DOWNSTAIRS THE FIGHTING
STARTS AGAIN
HAVE YOU FORGOT THE REASON
WHY THIS LITTLE CHILD WAS BORN
CAUSE IF YOU GO ON FIGHTING
YOU'LL DESTROY THIS FAMILY
JUST HOLD HIM AND LOVE HIM
TOUCH THIS CHILD OF LOVE
AND TRY YOUR BEST TO SAVE THIS
BROKEN HOME
STOP FIGHTING STOP HURTING
TRY TO LOVE AGAIN
AND DO YOUR BEST TO SAVE THIS
BROKEN HOME
IF YOU EVER HOLD HIM TIGHT
AND LET HIM FEEL YOUR LOVE AGAIN
YOU WILL MAKE HIM SMILE AGAIN
SOLO
JUST HOLD HIM AND LOVE HIM
TOUCH THIS CHILD OF LOVE
AND TRY YOUR BEST TO SAVE THIS
BROKEN HOME
STOP FIGHTING STOP HURTING
TRY TO LOVE AGAIN
AND DO YOUR BEST TO SAVE THIS
BROKEN HOME
