Dedicated to a man who can't express his feelings, because this world won't let him. To those living with PTSD and clergy abuse, if you are hurting, please tell someone. Strength in numbers. Nobody should suffer alone.

lyrics

Sent (him) home on some probation
Said that he could use a little time
(They) didn’t give an explanation
Only that something wasn’t right

He gets up early, buries himself
Never leaves until the work is done
But there must be something showing on his face
That he simply can’t outrun

Seems a lonely lifetime, just dealin with the pain
And you can’t see the sunshine, when you’re standing in the rain
And I can see the bright horizon, but it’s cold and dark where I am right this minute
And I know it’ll get better, it’s just hard when you’re in it.

A child of innocence and wonder
The world was bright and promising and such
But a trusted man with wandering hands
Took that light away with just a touch

And years of keeping it inside him
All come out when he’s against the wall
And the memories come rushing back
And he regrets that he can’t save them all

about

Just Dave Band Los Angeles, California

Hi, Just Dave here. OK, here's the deal, here at Just Dave Band we don't have 'fans', only friends who like to hear our music. I work hard on stage, I crack jokes, I put my life stories into my tunes, and try to support a family playing and selling my original music. (and I try to keep the guys in my band busy, too!)
