Intercede

She was a teen that used to go to church with mom and dad

But mom and dad Had a marriage that was really bad

And what's so sad it that her parents used to be so glad

The years had past the dad had packed a bag and ran with that

He left their mother, the sister, the brother

The marriage went under, he found pleasure in other things

The liquor bottle was a model that would make him sing

A drunken mindset is a trap that people struggle to see

Divorce had followed, mom and her father would no longer be

The judge had settled that there would be joint custody

The teen girl would cry at night

Wonderin' why her mom and dad didn't fight for this
