A ballad I suppose, starting simple and ending with a full production. It incorporates a definite Celtic feel

Story behind the song
None of my songs are autobiographical but I do take bits and pieces of what I notice around me... news, people, any subject matter really. Some people carry a lot of baggage that lingers from a bad situation often resulting in self destructive behavior. This particular song focuses on the theme of self help with the aid from a higher power. I truly believe the answer lies within.
Lyrics
Did your Mom convince you as a child That your worth was measured by her love? Did she tell you you’re no good? Blame you far more than she should For all the pain she brought into her life? Do you live with secrets of the night? Or are they covered just barely out of sight? Did your Daddy have his way? Now you live with his disgrace Through behavior you’re afraid to understand. Your pain is pleasure It’s all the same You reinforce the guilt To reinforce the blame How far will you go To drown your tears Before you realize You can’t outrun your fears It’s a true and heavy load you carry Don’t you know it’s a burden you can share? Let Him take you by the hand And He’ll help you understand The comfort you’ve been seeking lies within. Confront your fears and Dry those tears my dear For trouble will not follow I’ll help you…. Confront your fears and Dry those tears my dear For trouble will not follow anymore…. No, trouble will not follow anymore
