I was only seven when it happened,
My father tried to kill my mom.
I was only seven when it happened,
My father almost slit my moms throat.
I was only seven when it happened,
Getting trapped it the neighbors bathroom with the walls swallowing me alive seemed like a lifetime.
I was only seven when it happened,
When I watched the tears on my moms face fall down like a streaming river.
I was only seven when it happened,
When I watched my father over dose.
I was only seven when it happened,
With my sister in my fathers hands
I saw police men with guns pointing at my father.
I was only seven when it happened,
When I saw my father ride off in the back of a police car.
I was only seven when it happened,
The last time I saw my father.
I was only seven when it happened,
The day I saved my families lives.
