All The Proceeds That I Receive From This Track Will Go To The Australian Childhood Foundation To Help Children Recover From The Trauma Of Abuse And Neglect.

This track talks of my father and his battle with cancer during the last few years of his life. How shame can keep us bound up due to the emotional pain associated with abuse. Once shared, how the spell of shame can be broken and healing of generations can take place.

lyrics

He was a prisoner behind the bars of shame
A story untold - the secret locked away
Penetrating his heart, eating at his brain
Too much pain to face the light of day

I’m sharing secrets that have tortured the family name

Bars of shame
Raped by shame
Taped by shame
Bound by shame
Seeds to tell
Break the spell
Bars to break
Shattered shame
Spoken shame
Broken shame

He was a prisoner behind the bars of shame
Drilling through the skull to expose the truth
To heal the man of secrets locked away
Too much pain to face the light of day

I’m sharing secrets that have tortured the family name

Bars of shame
Raped by shame
Taped by shame
Bound by shame
Seeds to tell
Break the spell
Bars to break
Shattered shame
Spoken shame

Bars of shame
Raped by shame
Taped by shame
Bound by shame
Seeds to tell
Break the spell
Bars to break
Shattered shame
Spoken shame

The cancer secret finally took his name
I love the man, hold no blame
The father from heaven and hell
He had too much pain to face the light of day

I’m sharing secrets, I'm sharing secrets, that have tortured the family name

Bars of shame
Raped by shame
Taped by shame
Bound by shame
Seeds to tell
Break the spell
Bars to break
Shattered shame
Spoken shame

Bars of shame
Raped by shame
Taped by shame
Bound by shame
Seeds to tell
Break the spell
Bars to break
Shattered shame
Spoken shame
Broken shame

Bear Dogz Sydney, Australia

I’m a singer songwriter healing the shame of childhood sexual abuse through music & film by speaking about & singing about issues that are usually kept hidden from society. When we share our stories & emotions we are able to move beyond the feelings of shame; literally to hide from oneself and others. We connect through the pain we all feel at different periods of our lives & transmute it to joy. ... more
