Nowhere to Stand Lyrics

As things start to surface
Tears come on down
Scars of a childhood in a small town
The hurt she pushed inward
Is starting to show
Now she'll do some talking
But he'll never know
The tables are turned now
With a child of her own
But she's blind to the difference

What's taught is what's known
She's numbed by reaction
Stripped of the trust
A young heart is broken
Not aware that it's just
A family tradition
The strength of this land
Where what's right and wrong
Is the back of a hand
Turns girls into women
And a boy to a man
But the rights of the children
Have nowhere to stand
Memories of children
Are written in stone
Some may get buried
Not to be shown
Still they do linger
Deep down inside
Like a seed that's been planted
And won't be denied
A family tradition
The strength of this land
Where what's right
And wrong is the back of a hand
It turns girls into women
And a boy to a man
And the rights of the children
Have nowhere to stand
The rights of the children
Have nowhere to stand
