Do It For The Kids (Acoustic)

"The stories we don't tell… the quiet nights…" Sally's just a little girl, Innocent, bright, her laughter pure. But tonight, her world is breaking, Her home's a war, her heart is aching. She watches as her mother cries, Her father's rage behind his eyes. She locks her door, curls up tight, Praying love would win tonight. What happened? Do it for the kids, They didn't do a thing wrong. Love is supposed to heal, Not tear them down where they belong. Hold them close, don't let go, Let them know they're not alone. Jeremy shines beneath the lights, A star in every game he fights. His teammates cheer, the crowd goes wild, But at home, he's not a child. His father's voice is filled with blame, Every loss, a mark of shame. A trembling hand, a steel-cold blade, A boy alone, his hope betrayed. What happened? Do it for the kids, They didn't do a thing wrong. Love is supposed to heal, Not tear them down where they belong. Hold them close, don't let go, Let them know they're not alone. Sam was always top of class, Worked so hard to make it last. The diploma shakes inside her hand, She runs home, proud to stand. But her mother's voice is cold and sharp, Not good enough—just empty marks. Tears fall fast, her dreams now torn, She takes her bags and leaves before the dawn. What happened? Do it for the kids, They didn't do a thing wrong. Love is supposed to heal, Not tear them down where they belong. Hold them close, don't let go, Let them know they're not alone. Don't let anger dim your sight, Don't turn their hopes into the night. Lift them up, don't tear them down, Don't let them fade without a sound. Their dreams are fragile, bright, and free— Don't burn the light they're meant to be. Do it for the kids, For the broken, for the lost. Give them love, give them hope, Let them never pay the cost. For the kids… for the kids… Hold them close— Don't let this happen.
