Cover Your Heart
Lyrics, Guitar, Vocals by Darren Ritchie

There was once a little boy
He was growing up real well
And he said "I'm glad I have my dad"
Though his dad wasn't always around
But he was the best damn man in town
or at least the little boy thought
So he learned at a very young age
How to deal with things
That made him sad

You cover your heart
To hide from the pain
You cover your heart
Don't poison your soul, no

Now the little boy had a dream
He was standing over the grave
Of a man who'd just been saved
And he felt himself wanting to cry
And he wasn't quite sure why
'Til he saw his father's name
The little boy looked to the sky and he said to God
"Why, why would he die?"

You cover your heart
To hide from the pain
You cover your heart
Don't poison your soul, no

So the little boy went to school
and he had a pretty hard time
Cause kids say the damndest things
And he really didn't want to cry
and wasn't quite sure
He felt so cold inside
The little boy ran home in pain
and he said to his mom
"Why, why do I cry?"

You cover your heart
To hide from the pain
You cover your heart
Don't poison your soul, no
