I knew in my heart that things were not right
Something was going on hidden from sight
But you are my daughter and he is my son
How could I accept what I knew he had done?
I saw how you acted when he was around
When I walked in the room there wasn't a sound
I felt that I was being torn into two
Half for my son and half for you
It was so easy to put it out of my mind
Shut out the suspicion make my eyes blind
I didn't want to believe what was going on
And now looking back I see that was wrong
I'm supposed to protect you as all mothers do
Teach you about life show you how to get through
You were victims of society gone terribly wrong
And we tried to get help for him so very long
But when you fight the authorities you cannot win
They have all the answers they make your head spin
They said it's okay he wont do that again
But all of their words were spoken in vain
To say I am sorry seems too little too late
And I would not blame you if me you did hate
If there was any way I could rub it all out
I would if I could of that’s there's no doubt
When you are grown up and have kids of your own
You'll understand my dilemma and see I was torn
I gave birth to you both and love you the same
I'm sorry you've known so much heartache and pain
I promise to you I'll do the best that I can
To be there for you whatever God's plan
