Story Behind The Song
I've spent a good deal of my life in relationships with women who have these deep scars from childhood. I pray that they will find the healing they need. Only they have the power to heal themselves. The monsters (rapists and molestors) need to be stopped!
Song Description
Child molesters do harm that can last a lifetime, but it is within the power of the individual to overcome these scars and become whole again

Lyrics
STAND WITH YOUR FACE TO THE RAIN
SHE HAD A WOUND SO DEEP FROM LONG AGO
SO MANY MONSTERS IN THE WORLD
THAT CHILD CAN TELL YOU SO
SHE KEEPS IT BURIED DEEP INSIDE
SOMETIMES IT OPENS UP AND BLEEDS
SO SHE RUNS AS HARD & AS FAR AS SHE CAN
TO FIND WHERE EXCESS LEADS
YOU KNOW YOU'RE BOUND TO HIT THE WALL
OH NO DON'T LET 'EM SEE YOU FALL
STAND WITH YOUR FACE TO THE RAIN
SO THE TEARS WILL WASH AWAY
SCREAM INTO THE THUNDER
SO THEY WON'T HEAR WHAT YOU SAY
STAND WITH YOUR FACE IN THE RAIN
SHE DARED TO HAVE A DREAM
THAT THE NIGHTMARE COULDN'T TOUCH
SHE TRIED TO STILL THE VOICE
THAT TOLD HER SHE HAD ASKED TOO MUCH
ALL SHE COULD CONCIEVE
WAS THE BRUTAL WORLD SHE'D KNOWN
BLIND LUST, FEAR & GREED
IN HER MOTHER'S HAPPY HOME
CHORUS
BRIDGE-
ONCE IN A WHILE SHE SEES BEYOND THE NIGHTMARE
IN HER HEART SHE KNOWS THE PAST IS JUST A DREAM
SHE HAS THE STRENGTHTO KEEP ON HANGING IN THERE
'TILL SHE CAN FIND A WAY TO LET HER LOVE FLOW FREE
