There is a sound from the kitchen   And it's a sound he's heard a thousand times before   When he hears his mother crying   He runs away and hides inside his room      But there is no escaping   The anger in his fathers voice   And when the tears are falling   He falls down to his knees and prays      Just hold me and love me   Touch this child of love   And try your best to save this   Broken home      His little arms are black and blue   And there's a little cut right under his eye   Every night he lies awake   And from downstairs the fighting starts again      Have you forgot the reason   Why this little child was born?   'Cause if you go on fighting   You'll destroy this family      Just hold him and love him   Touch this child of love   And try your best to save this   Broken home      Stop fighting, stop hurting   Try to love again   And do your best to save this   Broken home      If you ever hold him tight   Let him feel your love again   You will make him smile again      Hold him, love him   And touch this child of love   And try your best to save this   Broken home      Stop fighting, stop hurting   Try to love again   And do your best to save this   Broken home      So hold him, you love him   Touch this child of love   And do your best
