There are many struggles on the road to salvation. When you have lived a life that is not perfect, that has been stained by abuse and pain, coming into the light is not easy.
You want to be truthful about who you are, but how can all that pain and sadness be turned into something good? As you work to share your history with others for validation, you struggle with all the issues those memories bring up. Can you trust your saddest secrets to someone who promises to keep them safe?
And what if they tell others…well, that’s how it goes…in redemption, sometimes you have to risk.

Nobody sees all the raindrops
No one remembered my name
But there’s a bright light in the darkness,
That blots out the wealth and the fame.
I’m seeing signs all around me
The man with the past has for told
And colours are bright in your daydreams
So merrily secrets unfold.
Nobody saw me in trouble
They’re all believing the lies
My father he wasn’t a preacher,
His legacy rests on my thighs
Lay down and keep my teacup warm.
I just remember the bright lights,
I don’t remember your name.
If you have a secret to tell me
The rabbit will unlock your game.
Can’t we just all live together?
There’s beauty alive in the past.
And truth’s in the love all around me
I’m feeling the freedom at last.
Nobody saw me in trouble
Turns out there’s truth in those lies
I’ll tell my secrets to heal you
My legacy seen through your eyes
Hush now, I can’t hide all those lies
Right at your back
Feel the attack
Scream when it goes
Nobody knows
I’ve got a secret life,
With a fairy tale wife
He takes all my promises,
That’s how it goes.
That’s how it goes.
That’s how it goes….oh oh oh oh oh…OH OH
Right at your back
Feel the attack
Scream when it goes
Nobody knows
I’ve got a secret life,
With a fairy tale wife
He takes all my promises,
That’s how it goes.
That’s how it goes.
That’s how it goes.
