I Found It In A Song

HOME SHOULD BE THE SAFEST PLACE OF ALL WHEN YOU’RE SMALL. LIKE A GIANT IN A FABLE, HE WAS ANGRY AND UNSTABLE. I WAS SO AFRAID ‘TIL I PUT MY HEADPHONES ON. I FOUND COMFORT IN A MELODY AND WORDS THAT MADE SOME SENSE TO ME. A REFUGEE FROM A FAMILY THAT ARGUED ALL WEEK LONG. WHEN PEACE WAS NOT AROUND, I FOUND IT IN A SONG. I FOUND IT IN A SONG. RECORDS SAY THE SAME THING EVERY TIME. AND THEY RHYME. THEY DON’T HIT YOU AND THEN BLAME YOU. THEY DON’T CALL YOU NAMES AND SHAME YOU. I WAS SO ALONE ‘TIL I PUT MY HEADPHONES ON. I FOUND COMFORT IN A MELODY AND WORDS THAT MADE SOME SENSE TO ME. A REFUGEE FROM A FAMILY THAT ARGUED ALL WEEK LONG. WHEN PEACE WAS NOT AROUND, I FOUND IT IN A SONG. I FOUND IT IN A SONG. BRIDGE EVERY DAY, THEY WERE FIGHTING EVERY NIGHT, THEY WERE SHOUTING EVERY WAY, THEY WERE HURTING EACH OTHER HOW DOES A CHILD DEAL WITH THIS? I FOUND COMFORT IN A MELODY AND WORDS THAT MADE SOME SENSE TO ME. A REFUGEE FROM A FAMILY THAT ARGUED ALL WEEK LONG. WHEN PEACE WAS NOT AROUND, I FOUND IT IN A SONG.
