Lyrics
Sara grew up hard
Right through
After momma died
At the age of 32
Daddy would come home drunk
From downtown
Sara would hide underneath her bed
In her nightgown
Hiding ?cause she knows his rage
She?d just close her eyes
But he?d find her anyway
No matter how far Sara runs
The memories still make her come undone
She tells me that she?s never loved
She drinks to kill the pain
And how man after man
It all ends up the same
You learned how to hate
You learned how to escape
You?re tough enough, baby
You can learn to love
How would you feel if you could retrace
The life that you have lived, would you replace
Try and put yourself in Sara?s shoes
Maybe you would change your views
Sara used to pray to God
Before she lost her way
She says it?s hard to carry on
So she takes it day by day
