Story Behind The Song

This song is about my friend Michael Peloso. He was an amazing person. He passed away in April. I wanted to give him some closure with his daughters. He went through a nasty divorce and his ex wife turned his daughters against him. His last song that he wrote mentioned that he hoped that one day they would call. I wanted them know what he went through

Lyrics

Verse 1:
He wore a brave face every day,
Smiled through the cracks, hid the pain away.
They never knew the wars he fought,
A silent soldier with a breaking heart.

Verse 2:
Behind closed doors, he took the blame,
Buried beneath another's shame.
They only knew the lies they'd heard --
Oh, what they didn't see in his world.

Chorus:
They didn't see the nights he cried,
The prayers he whispered just to survive.
They didn't see the truth he bled,
The broken dreams that filled his head.
They didn't see the scars inside,
Or how he stood when hope had died.
He beat the odds, he beat disease --
Still lost the ones he loved with ease.
Oh, what they didn't see.

Verse 3:
Their mother's words, like poison vines,
Wrapped around their growing minds.
Turned daughters' hearts from warm to stone,
Left him standing all alone.

Verse 4:
Yet even in his final days,
He found the strength to write the pain.
A lyricist with trembling hands --
His last song "Stolen Moments" stands.

Chorus:
They didn't see the nights he cried,
The prayers he whispered just to survive.
They didn't see the love he penned,
In songs he'd never get to send.
They didn't see the scars inside,
Or how he stood when hope had died.
He beat the odds, he beat disease --
Still mourned the family lost at sea.
Oh, what they didn't see.




Bridge:
His heart was inked in melodies,
Of stolen laughs, of missing dreams.
A man who gave until the end,
Still waiting for his daughters' hands.

Final Chorus:
They didn't see the nights he cried,
The prayers he whispered just to survive.
They didn't hear his final plea,
Written down for them to see.
They didn't see the scars inside,
Or how he stood when hope had died.
He left behind a legacy --
A song of stolen memories.
Oh, what they didn't see.
Oh, what they didn't see.
