Despite the Rain...2001
Clear my conscience. Clear my mind.
Leave my boyhood far behind.
Deny my family. Push back the guilt.
Can't feel the pain, the strap, the welt.
In Mamma's tears, I'll drown no more.
I'm not the son she'd once prayed for.
No more suckling, blue-eyed boy
Who filled my mamma's heart with joy.
Clear my conscience. Clear my mind.
Leave my boyhood far behind.
Deny my family. Push back the pain.
Look for rainbows, despite the rain.
Imprisoned by an empty heart.
No more hugs for me.
Imprisoned by my lies, my truths,
By my own iniquities.
Clear my conscience.
Clear my mind.
Leave my boyhood far behind.
Deny my familly..
Push back the pain.
Look for rainbows;
Despite the rain...
