Through A Child’s Eyes
(Daniel Gray)
Stryker Brown Entertainment/ASCAP

What’s going on here, someone turn on the lights
I can hear them screaming outside.
I know they are fussing about me
Mommy daddy I am so sorry
I don’t think they understand
This is my broken home wonderland.

It’s hard to live in a home with no peace
And day-by-day you feel the love decrees
I can see the hatred in their eyes
Hiding behind their smile disguise
I can feel the tension as it builds up
I wish that all of this would stop

Chorus
Mommy daddy can’t you see
All the pain that you are causing me
I will no longer try to hide
The fact that your killing me inside.

I try to pretend everything is all right
I try to overlook every single fight
Even thought you don’t think I know
I see everything you do, like it’s on a TV show
And even though you don’t think I comprehend
My ignorance is all just pretend

Chorus

And I don’t know what to say
When people ask me why I feel this way
Should I smile and say I don’t know
Or explain the plot to my reality show.

Chorus
