about

This is an extremely auto-biographical song I wrote back then thinking this was therapy. I was abused for the first 10 years of my life by my mother's second husband. His name was JACQUES LEGER (in case you ever meet him). A millionaire, he was the president of Quebecair for awhile and an executive at Nordair previously. A chartered accountant was his official formation. He fathered 3 more kids with my mother but I have had no contact with her since I was 10 years old. She never protected me, following the scent of money instead. I was torn away from that dangerous place with terrible scars and trauma which have certainly tainted many of my later years with a deep seated fear of men, pain and self esteem issues which I medicated for years with drugs. I inherited such a bent on self destruction, it killed me. I credit my real father Jacques Antonin for saving what was left of my sanity and sending me on my way to an artistic career where I found the freedom to express myself in all the crazy ways that you've seen throughout my adult life...

lyrics

I see pictures of myself when I was a kid and I don't understand
See my face in the mirror ripping apart in tears
See my eyes and all I see is pain beyond them
How could they hurt a little angel why? Why?

All the pain is in me
All the pain is in you
All the pain in the world to see
and live in everyday

Never hurt a child
Never see the light
Never had a mom
Never, never

Whenever I reached out
Why didn't you help me mom?
You should have left me with daddy
But you brought me in this hell instead

All the pain is in me
All the pain is in you
All the pain in the world to see
and live in everyday

Never hurt a child
Never see the light
Never had a mom
Never, never

Solo

All the pain is in me
All the pain is in you
All the pain in the world to see
and live in everyday

Never hurt a child
Never see the light
Never had a mom
Never, never
Never piss me off
Now I'm gonna fight back
Never had a mom
Never, never
Never hurt a child!
