Many can relate, one of the deepest and most heartfelt songs ever wrote and recorded!!! Sung by Jesse Howard Wrote by Daniel Dyess (YaBoi Dirty) Mixed by Joe Sapp (Nu Breed) and Eddie Robinson Video by Joe Sapp (Nu Breed)
Please tell me I'm not only man that tears up every single time I hear this song. I can't even try to sing it without choking up. This song is so so deep. I love it
I'm a hard man but this song reminded me of myself when I was about 5. My stepfather use to beat on me and my mother. I sat here, started tearing up. I've been thru a lot as a Marine; Desert Storm, Iraq. This song brought me to my knees, I thank my heavenly father for looking after my mother and me during that part of my life. We snuck out at 1am, in the morning. Thank you.
My grandson showed me this video! He said - look mimi, this songs almost like my true life story! I couldn't help but cry! My sweet grandson is a survivor of severe child abuse. He almost died before his 4th birthday ! I thank God he's still here with me now! He'll be 11 yrs old this summer. This is a very powerful song!
Your grandson is very lucky to be alive, I know it's a tough thing to have to witness or even go through it. I have been there too. Doing much better it took me 34 years to build my life and your grandson can too.
This is very personal to me. See the fact is I'm 45 yrs old and as a child my father left me n my mom n 2 brothers. My little brother would go to his dad's alot and my older brother did his own thing . Therefore it left me alone w my mom's alcoholic boyfriends they would get drunk and beat me . They would starve me push me down the stairs. I've had my struggles with my own demons however I made myself a promise yrs ago not to be that kind of man to my children or any child. No child should ever go through life growing up in fear. This world is scary enough. WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR FUTURE PEOPLE. THANK YOU Jesse and Nu Breed
No child should UK led ever be hurt in any way but sadly so many are and its thru Nubreeds music that we can all make a change.Awareness is a beginning
😢my heart is broken for your inner child & for my own & all the other children whose lives get damaged or ended due to these abusive drunks. I swear alcohol is far worse then any of the drugs they did. As a 42yr old I still have trauma from the brokenness of my childhood. Your right NO CHILD deserves to live in fear like that. I wished I could make it true that they didn’t.
Good you can vent, but never let tbst shit hold you down, hope.you living a better life, but never ever lwt that shit hold ya down, if ya do than you let them win, f*ck that, you better , if youre a survivor cant let that sh*t hold ya down if ya do than youre still letting him win
I am a 35 year old man who has been thru it all. I consider myself a hard person when it comes to dealing with bullshit. This song hits nerves I didn't know existed. I was abused as a child in many ways and this song is fire. God bless you. God thank you for giving him these words.
I have a question I am 14 just turned and I have a drunk father who doesn’t hit me but verbally abuses me every night and has threatened his own mother I want to ask how can I stop crying I just want someone to feel like they love me
I don't even know you and I love you. And I wish she's the best you come to my house. I will take care of you. I'm sorry you have to live. Such a did too. And I'm 62. I would help you anyway I could
Baby love your self ...try and advoid him ... especially when hes drinking... verbal abuse is just as bad if not worse then the physical pain... Im sooo sorry you are going through that my heart cries out for you...😢 find someone that you know you can trust..family member..teacher ....there is NO SHAME IN SPEAKING UP JUST KNOW AND BELIEVE YOU ARE LOVED N SO VERY SPECIAL..AND NOOO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS TO YOU .....ITS NOT YOUR FAULT...❤❤❤IM HERE IF YOU EVER NEED TO TALK ..@@That_one_Russian
I just recently heard this song. I instantly lost it as I lived thru this hell. Thought to many times about ending my time here on earth. But just as the song says I reached out to my preacher and my Lord and Savior. He told me everything would be alright and now I'm a step father to a great boy, who has grown up to be a great young man. I would NEVER put my hands on a kid. I don't want them to go thru the hell I did.
As a child the church community turned a blind eye to my father abusing me. It was the people the church said were no good that stepped up to protect me. The neighbor that was more of a father to me than my biological father was a member of the hells angels. Ironically he's the one that put the fear of God into my father
Yo an GREAT STEP DAD , MY ❤ GOES OUT TO U WEN U WERE AN LIL CHILD , U Turned Around with Yo STEP Son , Yo The AweSome , Great , Beautiful Man , Husband, nd DADDY , GOD BLESS YOU ND YO FAMILY , THIS SONG DOES HIT THE ❤❤
Don't stop praying for them, God really does wrap His arms around them... Sometimes He even whispers, "I am here" and that can save a kids life.... The abuse didn't stop for years, but after God touched me, I had hope, enough to not give up on life. I'm almost 50 yrs old now.. The struggle continues in other ways... Child sex abuse is unfortunately damaging for a lifetime. I know I'm a strong person for all I suffered, and for the ones I endured that for, even though they hate me and never believed me when I told of what was happening. I've spent 40 yrs ostracized from the ones I gave up my childhood innocence for. It's all good anyway I just wanted to say thank you and don't stop
You hit your knees. Im on my knees balling. Praying. I knew these guys before they went big. This song is the best. Better than my house they did. I see anyone abusing a child ill end it. Ill take my chance of being judged by 12 than carried by 6.
As a father this will never happen ony watch. My children come first. And if anyone who reads these comments are in a situation like this. Reach out to me. Ill come stop it quick. I'll travel to help children....
I just found this song in March of 2024... After watching a video about the end of times. I'm about to turn 30 and this song hit me deep. This song made me reflect on my own childhood and how I wouldn't be here had it not been by the grace of God. I was a baby when I should have actually died, my mom was so scared when God sent an angel to that mall in the form of a pediatric nurse that saved my life. I am fighting back the tears just hearing the part "Can you see him too? There is an Angel standing right beside you preacher man". While typing this the tears started to flow.... Thank you brother for this, God gave you this talent.
Wow,.. as a Dad, the emotions this song brings out is like a roller coaster. How anyone can be the cause of a child's pain is incredibly heinous,.. this is why it's written "it would be better if a millstone is tied around their neck and drowned in the depths of the sea"...
We adopted a little girl, 2 weeks old. When I picked her up the first time, it felt like I was picking my daughter. That was 18 months ago. Now we have her little brother, my son, 1 month old. Tell you what, I am blessed to have them as my kids!
Oh my God 41 seconds in and I have a ball in my throat. Cheers crashing down my face. After a minute and one I’m Ballin. I don’t even know how he got through singing that song.
My husband is a radio personal (most people call him a DJ) for our hometown country station. I just had him listen to this. He said, “this song sure does touch the heart. That’s the kind of music that hits #1 fast.” Tomorrow he’s adding it to his music list when he gets to work in the morning.
I haven't said this about a song in awhile but this one really got to me. My parents had an open door policy when we were growing up. I can't count the times we had teens sleeping on the floor of our little 2 bedroom trailer in the boondocks. We were poor but we shared what we had & Our home was a safe home for so many kids, some came to our home to escape abuse. This song...*sigh* just brought tears to my eyes. We don't know what others go thru.
My door is always open too, same thing, I've had kids sleeping on the floor in the living room several times over the years. They may have only been there that night, or a couple nights, or whatever, but they knew they were safe, they knew nobody was going to get to them, I think for most that was the first time they'd really slept in days, weeks, out of fear. We may not be their parents but I sure as hell will do anything to keep a child safe from the hands of an abuser. There's no excuse to ever hurt a child, I don't care how mad you are at them, NEVER HURT A CHILD period. Walk away, leave, whatever, don't ever lay your hands on a child in anger and/or hate.
I THINK RASCAL FLAT SAID WE CAN'T COUNT THE TIME WHAT WE WANTED TO SAY AND LORETTA LYNN SAID BUT WE WERE POOR BUT WE HAD LOVE THAT THE ONE THING MY MAKE SURE OF SAME IN OUR HOUSE WAS LIKE THAT WE LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL ON THE WEEKEND WE HAD IT LIKE HOTEL OR MOTEL MY DADDIE WOULD FIX BREAKFAST THAT LIKE SHONEYS BUFFETT AND PICK ALL YOU CAN EAT EVERYBODY'S THAT COME TO VISIT ME OR MY BRUDDA OR AT THE SAME TIME EVERYBODY'S USED SLEEPING BAG DADDIE WOULD SAY BJ AND JAY JAY I CAN LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL I KNOW WHO THEY ARE BY THE COLORS OF THERE'S SLEEPING BAG LOL BUT I USED TO LIVE IN EAST POINT GA/ COLLEGE PARK GA BUT I CAN STILL IMAGINE THAT DADDIE WOULD SAY THEM WORD TO US R.I.P DADDIE / GRAMPS LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL MY FAVORITE THAT I DID WAS FUN IN GOOD WAY NUN OF OURS FRIENDS KNEW WHAT I DID SO I WOULD TELL MY MAMMAS ABOUT THE BAD THING OR HOW THEY ACT LIKE SO ME AND MAMMAS KNOW OUR TRICKS BECAUSE MY MAMMAS WAS BORN DEAF THAT KEWEL SHE'S TAUGHT ME SINGN LANGUAGE ALL TENNS WOULD COME TO THE OFFICE FROM ELEMENTARY / MIDDLE/ HIGH SCHOOL SHE'S NEED TO GO TO THE DR.

Miss Gina, you may have not had much, nothing extra, and maybe your family got by on scraps and handouts. Trust me, kitten...I know. I understand. But you weren't poor. Not then, not now. You were shown Love, taught Faith and watched in real time as Charity was manifest as an example of how to be a decent person. You are blessed to have instilled in you an education that most Americans could afford, but won't tolerate, even though it were free. You were taught to be humble, kind, generous of your meager wealth and your empathy. You are richer than most. You understand the potentiality and power of charity. Poverty is not the lack of money, gold...stuff. True poverty is in the mind, a loss of hope...a loss of faith...a loss of charity. Shakespeare said, "to thine own self be true." Remember...love. Just love. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 1.Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5. doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6. rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7. beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Sorry for the ramble, the Holy Spirit stole my phone for a bit. Be well and blessed. 🙏
Unbelievably powerful and moves me to tears! Fellas, I know I am not the only one that is moved to tears! INCREDIBLE song and I have it on my play list and on loop.
Makes me cry every time. A co-worker several years ago used to occasionally bring his son to work with him...unknown to me at the time was him and his wife were divorced, sometimes the only time he got to see his son was during the week...thank god we worked in an office with just a few of us there so he could have his son with him at work and enjoy what little time he had with his son...his ex-wife and boyfriend had primary custody of the boy. His dad kept telling CPS they needed to go do a welfare check on the kid, every time they would the ex-wife and boyfriend always had some excuse as to where the kids was, at a friend's, sick, with family, etc...they never demanded to physically see the boy...FAILURE OF the system that is supposed to be protecting these kids. We had just got out of the field from our 2 week training, we were unloading everything and basically getting ready to head home when we found out that the boy was missing. Turned out the ex-wife and boyfriend were beating, and starving the boy, locked him in a closet, etc. Basically they beat him and starved him to death....the boyfriend threw the kid in the canal out behind the place they were living....Its so sad even now 16 years later I still think about it....I still remember that little boy running around the office asking everyone to play with him, he'd sit on the floor and play with his toys always on edge with every loud noise that occurred....never thought about it until everything came to light during the search for him, and the aftermath....its beyond sad that something like this could happen until it happens to someone you know.
As a child I was abused by my own father. Broken bones. Split skull. This song hits me like a ton of bricks. Heaven is real, folks and GOD answers prayers.
As a pastor and a man, this song is very powerful. We as men should be there to protect our wives and children. Please God continue to cover and protect all the women and children that have to deal with abuse, in Jesus Name!!!
I have a nephew that has been in coma for 27 yrs since age 9 I think of him is heaven real cause truth be told his own dad did this to him my momma and father put there life on hold to take care of him now it's me my momma and son we need prayers for momma your music helps us thank you Patricia Lynn Lane aka Ellis that's me thank u for your music helping me come and feel better through all this God bless yall
Dear lord Jesus. This song has got me pouring my eyes out right now. This is so courageously out there. Even some foster kids have it bad. Bless them all.
Not just in the foster homes but on every street corner, camped in the homeless camps turned to the bottle or the crack pipe, giving up on themselves, living out their last days outside of where most live in solitary loneliness just needing a friendly smile or touch It breaks your heart to see it
When you’ve been that kid before this song hits home. Bless the little ones who never get to be little. May they Rest In Peace forever never having to hurt again.
Thank you man this happened to me since I was 2 and it all stopped when I was 9 and my dad came back and helped me and my mom and I will never forget that this song makes me cry everything I hear it
I went through it with every one of my mom's ex's including my father until she met the man I called dad when I was 14 and I never had to worry about getting abused .
As a father and husband this breaks my heart. I would do anything to protect my family. Our house is known all over our neighborhood as a safe place for anyone to come if they need help.
Much needed song😢😭 I’ve literally stood between the kids and ex husband to keep them from his drunken abuse. Alcohol makes some folks mean. Thanking the good Lord, we survived that awful past.
I been where you are with ex aka baby daddy being a abusive and addict alcohol and drugs being in middle pulling to keep kids safe there parent not right mind . My ex in this video playing abusing bf and on wrong side tracks . He a recovery addict now and so am I
Man 😢😢 I’ve listened to this song probably 100 times and know it word for word and every time it tears me down inside…. This is probably my favorite song!!! I just can’t understand for the life of me why someone man or woman would want to harm an innocent child 😢😢 they didn’t ask to be here in this nasty cruel world.!!!! There’s so many people married couples that can’t have children and some that can have them, don’t want them… 😢 and that breaks my heart. I have 4 beautiful children that I love dearly ❤ and I honestly wouldn’t know what to do without them! People…Men and Women if you don’t want your child give them to a family that with love them and take care of them… Don’t punish that child because you don’t want to be a responsible parent… its not their fault. God look over these innocent children and put them in a place they can be wanted and loved as they should be 🙏🙏🙏🙏😩😭😭😭. Don’t abuse the children 🙏. God bless.
I AGREE WITH YOU 100%, ,, I HAD 5 CHILDREN ND I PROTECTED MY CHILDREN FROM ANY1 WIT ALL MY ❤ , MY CHILD HOOD WASN T TOO GREAT BUT I TURNED IT AROUND WEN I GOTTEN MARRIED , I have more to text but it ll be to long wen I was an Child , This Is An BEAUTIFUL SONG , 1ST TIME HEARING THIS AWESOME, GREAT SONG ❤❤❤❤
First time I heard this song I walked away. I could not handle it when the boy ended up in the hospital. I finally listen to the whole thing. It hurt so much I have four kids and could never be with someone who ever laid their hands on my child! My baby daddy did that to both of us and I disappeared in the middle of the night! Ran so fast and so hard!
I tell ya, this one tore me up. Me and my brother grew with an abusive alcoholic dad. I remember once when I was 5 and my brother was 7 we made a deal that my brother would kill me and then kill himself. Luckily we never went through with it. So glad when my mother finally decided to leave him. Thanks for the song, it is amazing.
This is a beautiful song.a reminder that no matter what we go through in life,of we follow Jesus we will have a eternity in a beautiful,loving place with no more sadness and suffering
A REAL MAN knows his job is to love, protect his children. NOT to abuse or abandon them. A REAL MAN also knows how to be a role model for the fatherless child.
This brings a tear to my eyes and puts a fire in my soul! To know that this happens and there isn’t enough we can do kills me inside. I pray that maybe I can get up close and personal with a few of these kind of people so I can show them what a real beating feels like! In the same breath, I wish I could take every child like this and shelter them from ever being treated like this, to let them know what love is…
I wish there were more people like you while I was in foster care....There was so much bad shit that happened to me that now I suffer from anxiety, and PTSD it was absolutely horrible
this hits home for me because i was like that little boy in this song. but i didnt have anyone to help me. until i spoke up and got the help that i needed. i prayed for heaven every day when i was alone with my abuser. thank you for bringing attention to childhood abuse. love all of your music.
This song speaks right to me. I was that little boy. The humility, the pain, the depression my stepfather caused can never be taken back or forgotten. This song makes me cry. It literally is so accurate on how I felt for years
This was the first comment i read and its exactly what i was thinking and feeling. I will never forget what I was I put through as a kid and young adult because of my stepfather
Thats whats up right there im glad that you spoke up for you pops dads lives matter im happy to see your comment there is not a lot of good dads out there im glad yall had one
I am a 36 year old female who grew and came from an abusive and broken down family and then put into foster care by the age of 10 ,this song definitely hits home and is very true for so many kids who are unable to defend themselves this defiantly puts a tear to my eyes, keep up the great music thanks for allowing us to all listen and experience the dark and cruel ways of time and truth about life
Got me on tears Jesse. That’s my boy when he was little. I still feel the guilt that he went thru that, but I'd be at work when things happened and he was afraid to tell me because he got threatened that he better not or it'd be worse the next time. He never told me until a few years ago and he's 40 now. Absolutely devastated me when he finally let me know. It's a beautiful song It sure hit this mama’s heart awful hard.
As an orphan, this song hits differently. I was there as the lil boy. Was put in group homes afterwards that was just as bad. Brings me to my knees with eyes full of tears every time I hear this song
I’m a woman almost 60. But this song put me right back to being that little girl. Brought me to tears on my knees. Thank you for doing this song. I swear the whole world should have to listen to it over and over like I just did. You guys are amazing!!!
Anytime I hear the first couple of chords of this song, eyes well up with tears & get chills. This one hits real close to home, it hurts bc it’s true. And when someone sings about your life story, it makes you feel a certain type of way & there’s a realization that you aren’t alone. This is so common in our society today & that’s the worst part of it all! God bless all of y’all 🥺🧡
This song found me last night and I balled my eyes out. I must have listened to it about 10 times. The guy who wrote this song must have lived through some really bad shit like me. I hope it inspires people in the same situation to speak up and stop the violence before it’s too late. God bless everyone and especially those who have made it through the evil that these men do.
I'm 1 of 19 kids in my family. All of 15 were adopted by my parents and 4 of their own. I was adopted at a young age I only know 1 family. But I watched every one come and go and the damages that some have been through. This song hits it right on top of the head. Brought me straight to tears. Wish no child had to deal with it
This song & Alyssa Lies is too real for many people especially for me. I'm about to turn 60 and I remember like it's yesterday going through the abuse and physical wasn't even the only type. Mother was abusive and so was her guy friends. I still remember laying in bed praying for God to just take me, I couldn't keep taking everything. I left home at 16 ( legal age in my state where I couldn't get in trouble for leaving & couldn't be forced to go back) I never went back. I had two beautiful, wonderful sons i would have gladly put the orange suit on and I'd been smiling in the mugshot to protect my kids from just a fraction of the abuse I had to go through. Today I would for my grandkids and I'd do it to make sure my kids were always able to be right there for their kids.
Wow, as a 42 year old man who's been the little boy and is now a foster dad trying to adopt his 1st baby unable to make my own I felt this down to my core. Great song brother. #tears
Is heaven real cause I can't wait to go I can't wait to know how heaven feels is there a place we're there is no more pain or dying no more need no more crying 🙏🙏🙏
My brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus please join me in praying for my precious grandson who sent this song to me. He is 7 yrs old. Deeply grateful for your prayers.
@@justinturpin7865 So very grateful for your prayers. Recently my daughter has removed my grandson from my life. My grandson seeks the Lord and I have been a vessel for him seeking Jesus. He has accepted Jesus as Lord of his life. My daughter tells my grandson there is no God. I pray for her mind, heart and soul. Praying for a reconciliation. I believe she has lied to him...told him something happened to me. She did the same thing to his father...told him he probably died of covid when he was 5. She and her boyfriend have been terrible to him but they come out looking good to everyone. Narcissistic, evil. Yes pray my brother in Lord Jesus.
@@RepentTimeIsAtHand praying for him & they don’t sound like great people i hope you’re grandson is okay there is a god & with enough praying he will keep that boy safe
I consider myself to be a tough lad. Brought up the old school way and tought not to ever show emotion. But i gotta admit. As a father to an amazing son. This song had me in tear
Man, I listened to this song like 10 times back to back. I haven't cried in decades until now. This song hit way to close to home because I was once that kid under similar circumstances. I survived...thanks for a great heartfelt tune.
@@tashakirkham2338 seems we think alike...I m glad to have lived through the crap I suffered as that is part of what makes me the man I am today. And I'm still learning lessons from it all.
@@saddlesainta.k.a.scooterwi9686 me too I have some ptsd issues but learning to be open and honest especially with my kids so that they understand when I wog out for what seems like no reason. Being here for them makes all the hurt worth it because I can be better than I got and working to make sure that they are happy and healthy is the best feeling in the world.
@@tashakirkham2338 amen Sister...be for them what you didn't get and be what you wanted. We cant allow what happened to ourselves continue so we gotta stop that cycle by being better.
This hits home for me tonight. 10 years ago my little nephew, almost 2 years was beaten and killed by his momma and her boyfriend. Had him on my mind tonight. I know heavens real and I know he's there with a big smile. Sissy misses you Cole. Until we meet again lil man. 🙌
That is really sad I am so sorry for your lost no child should have to go through being abused so badly that they don't survive it that is just horrific I am sorry but I think his momma and her boyfriend should have to go through what your nephew did so sorry
One awesome song with a great message. This song needs to be played every single day for the underdog, those who have suffered and are suffering child abuse. I hope this gets a lot of airplay on the radio. It touches the heart ❤️. To the songwriter and singer keep it going.
I love this song and it makes cry everytime I listen to i I pray for anyone going through life like this and ,I know God hears my prayers. God bless all the kids going through this .
If u tear up when u hear music like this, u have feelings. Compassion for others when they r dealing with such things in life , is need for most . Feelings. I cry as well .
My dad preached when I was growing up, he was also abusive. The fact that I'm an Afghanistan veteran and sitting here crying, speaks volumes for this song. Very good job and thank you.
I love this song. Finally, someone is telling my story. Fortunately, I graduated and joined the Army. I got out as far away as possible. Retired from the Army and became a teacher. Never looked back until now.
I’m sorry that you had to endure something so horrific. I’m happy that you made it out of there and went on to be an amazing gentleman that loved our country enough to sacrifice your life for us. Thank you sir for your service. God bless you.
Wow... .. You put into words, what I was so long ago.... a little boy, who prayed for a way out, but had none. Wow... I realize with this song, I may have some suppressed pain. I pray for those who may be in this situation.
I just heard this today. To the men that haven’t quit, don’t wait for a miracle, you are one. To the many like me that had memories flood the mind throughout this song, that god size hole in your heart can only be filled by Christ our mighty champion,
Thank you for caring. Im a 45 yo man. And it still effects me. They are cowards. It's why I joined the army. In hopes I could steal the life out of oppressors.
This song hits me so hard every time no matter how many times I hear this. Being a father I can’t imagine the pain kids feel across the world that makes them feel heaven is the only answer. God save the children of our world from the monsters that inhabit this planet!
Adults are soposed to protect and love are children when i was a child my dad was an alcoholic and he beat us all the time and no one saved us and i always wondered why my mom didn't leave him and our neighbors did nothing as a young mother I adored my children and loved them this is what a real parent should do this song broke 💔 my heart
Speechless....but can say that this hit a soft spot, as a young teenage girl I was abused and had to live my life for many years struggling with the emotional and mental trauma that abuse can bring upon a victim. Only until recently, and I'm 53 yrs old, have I realized that God is and has been my saving grace!
Oh my god I’m balling within the 1st few seconds of the song!!! I’ve said the same thing to my preacher when I was a little. And even when I been older I’ve prayed for heaven many times
Song should be on every station in America... Sadly few know it. Being a father, this was hard to listen to knowing this is a reality to far to many children. Still is every time I play it. Always protect your children, always protect children period, whether they are yours or not.🙏
This is a meaning song I always wonder why I brought a tear to my dad eye whenever he listened to it I stopped one time and listened and man this hits to close to home
Agree with you a hundred percent it shouldn't matter if the kids are ours or not the point is that we are their protectors and we should be happy to help All children
This song hits me hard I've been in the same position as a child. I was abused so many ways and only God and my guardian angel helped me through it all. The artist here really did a number on this song😢
I just hope I make it long enough to see these guys take the number 1 spot they certainly deserve fame and fortune. Please let the power of good be heard both far and wide peace to all I start chemo soon its been 3 weeks since i found out through emergency surgery pancreatic cancer stage 4 so the music is the only thing i have left and the love of family friends and my dog thank you for the music and its so kind for you guys to reply to some of my comments yall are more than musicians your hero's to many and the kind of role models our nation needs god bless us all and thank you Never give up

My favorite part of this song will always be right after he says ,"Preacher man why ya crying" ...cause ,I cant wait ! I can't wait much longer either !!! 🙏
I am a survivor of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and this song really hit home. I remember well feeling exactly like this lil boy. Thank you. I truly admire and respect your gift...your music.. Wonderful and versatile artist
Morbid Sunshine I wish you and your family the best in life and know human on Earth sld have to go through anything like this or what you have been through😥💪🙏💯 Much Love and Respect to you my friend you will be in my Prayers. 🙏BLESS YOU))🙏
I am too sunshine........I check all of the above.....VERY well said......much love and respect to you.......you can't keep us down but for a short time and we become STRONGER from it!
That sucks. I wish you didn't experience that. Hope you are getting by somewhat ok. SA is my worst hated abuse. They are all bad regardless I must say.
Very powerful song. I went through alot as kid to boot, so this hits home. Mental and physical abuse, domestic violence, alcohol and drugs. I've listened to this 5 times now today. Now im not religious but damn if this dont choke you up.
Brings tears to my eyes. My ex cheated and ran off with my son. He's 7 years old now, I don't even get to talk to him anymore. The thought that she meets some scumbag scares the shit out of me. If I ever find out he's been hurt by anybody, they'll have to bury me below the jail. Lord I pray for all the kids out there in the world, all the families, please reach into their hearts and give them an angel to watch over them. Amen 🙏 Thank you for this powerful song.
It’s heartbreaking that this song is too true for too many children. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for shredding light on a topic that so many people avoid and doing it with such fun talent. You guys are truly amazing!
