about

What if the paternity of a child was in question and birth revealed the difficult truth, only for the “parents” to be forced to live together in lockdown?

lyrics

This, the day that you’re born
Hearts broke, souls torn,
You are all that is new and fresh like the sun after rain
And the likeness,
To a man, not of your name

Though, too small to understand
Fear and panic, grips the land,
Your mother, in a moment of weakness that lead to the wonder that’s you
And your father, not the man who cradles and soothes

Yours, the only sound in the home
The adults, struck dumb, unable to roam
Anger, and unshakable hate, silently replaced the doubt
But held captive, they have to work it out
P – A – I - N
But held captive, and through time, they work it out
Yes
