Please tell me I'm not only man that tears up every single time I hear this song. I can't even try to sing it without choking up. This song is so so deep. I love it
I just heard it 2 nights ago omw home from work and it had me in tears
You are definitely not the only one brother
Every time I hear it
Me to
Trust me your not. Hit me can't stop listening to this song.
My grandson showed me this video! He said - look mimi, this songs almost like my true life story! I couldn't help but cry! My sweet grandson is a survivor of severe child abuse. He almost died before his 4th birthday ! I thank God he's still here with me now! He'll be 11 yrs old this summer. This is a very powerful song!
Your grandson is very lucky to be alive, I know it's a tough thing to have to witness or even go through it. I have been there too. Doing much better it took me 34 years to build my life and your grandson can too.
Hugs to you both!
God bless y'all. I'm 41 and raised by my grandparents. Grandma still runs by my side. ❤
@@dalorashellito6055-thanks, he has good days and bad! He's always said the best thing that ever happened to him was us adopting him!
@@joshuathomas987You're truly blessed to still have her with you! I thank God daily for my grandson!
I'm a woman and I'm crying and want to hug him and take him with me to our loving family.
I agree
I agree
I am a 35 year old man who has been thru it all. I consider myself a hard person when it comes to dealing with bullshit. This song hits nerves I didn't know existed. I was abused as a child in many ways and this song is fire. God bless you. God thank you for giving him these words.
I have a question I am 14 just turned and I have a drunk father who doesn’t hit me but verbally abuses me every night and has threatened his own mother I want to ask how can I stop crying I just want someone to feel like they love me
If you're not crying, you must be dead.😢
I don't even know you and I love you. And I wish she's the best you come to my house. I will take care of you.
I'm sorry you have to live. Such a did too. And I'm 62. I would help you anyway I could
I'm a hard man but this song reminded me of myself when I was about 5. My stepfather use to beat on me and my mother. I sat here, started tearing up. I've been thru a lot as a Marine; Desert Storm, Iraq. This song brought me to my knees, I thank my heavenly father for looking after my mother and me during that part of my life. We snuck out at 1am, in the morning. Thank you.
Randy Siquieros thank you for your service to our country... You are a Hero.
💔💔💔💔
God bless you Randy and your mother.......we thank Him today for protecting us.......Thank you also for your service to this country
God bless you brother! I don’t know you but I love you dude. Thank you 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service my friend!!! God bless you and every member of your family!
This is very personal to me. See the fact is I'm 45 yrs old and as a child my father left me n my mom n 2 brothers. My little brother would go to his dad's alot and my older brother did his own thing . Therefore it left me alone w my mom's alcoholic boyfriends they would get drunk and beat me . They would starve me push me down the stairs. I've had my struggles with my own demons however I made myself a promise yrs ago not to be that kind of man to my children or any child. No child should ever go through life growing up in fear. This world is scary enough. WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR FUTURE PEOPLE. THANK YOU Jesse and Nu Breed
God bless you brother and your statement is very true. No one deserves this.
No child should UK led ever be hurt in any way but sadly so many are and its thru Nubreeds music that we can all make a change.Awareness is a beginning
😢my heart is broken for your inner child & for my own & all the other children whose lives get damaged or ended due to these abusive drunks. I swear alcohol is far worse then any of the drugs they did. As a 42yr old I still have trauma from the brokenness of my childhood. Your right NO CHILD deserves to live in fear like that. I wished I could make it true that they didn’t.
Good you can vent, but never let tbst shit hold you down, hope.you living a better life, but never ever lwt that shit hold ya down, if ya do than you let them win, f*ck that, you better , if youre a survivor cant let that sh*t hold ya down if ya do than youre still letting him win
Man I'm sorry that you had to go through that I breaks my heart that some kids have to deal with that
If this song doesn't make you cry, you've got no soul
I absolutely love this song, its superb
Amen bro .
I just found this song in March of 2024... After watching a video about the end of times. I'm about to turn 30 and this song hit me deep. This song made me reflect on my own childhood and how I wouldn't be here had it not been by the grace of God. I was a baby when I should have actually died, my mom was so scared when God sent an angel to that mall in the form of a pediatric nurse that saved my life. I am fighting back the tears just hearing the part "Can you see him too? There is an Angel standing right beside you preacher man". While typing this the tears started to flow.... Thank you brother for this, God gave you this talent.
🥺🥺😭😭well this made me hit my knees and started to pray for the kids that are being abused!! God wrap your arms around them
Don't stop praying for them, God really does wrap His arms around them... Sometimes He even whispers, "I am here" and that can save a kids life.... The abuse didn't stop for years, but after God touched me, I had hope, enough to not give up on life. I'm almost 50 yrs old now.. The struggle continues in other ways... Child sex abuse is unfortunately damaging for a lifetime. I know I'm a strong person for all I suffered, and for the ones I endured that for, even though they hate me and never believed me when I told of what was happening. I've spent 40 yrs ostracized from the ones I gave up my childhood innocence for. It's all good anyway I just wanted to say thank you and don't stop
You hit your knees. Im on my knees balling. Praying. I knew these guys before they went big. This song is the best. Better than my house they did. I see anyone abusing a child ill end it. Ill take my chance of being judged by 12 than carried by 6.
As a father this will never happen ony watch. My children come first. And if anyone who reads these comments are in a situation like this. Reach out to me. Ill come stop it quick. I'll travel to help children....
Amen, God bless all the little angels living in abuse and fear...
Isn't it amazing how some seemingly radom things from out of nowhere tend to hit us square in the face like that? 😉👍
My husband is a radio personal (most people call him a DJ) for our hometown country station. I just had him listen to this. He said, “this song sure does touch the heart. That’s the kind of music that hits #1 fast.” Tomorrow he’s adding it to his music list when he gets to work in the morning.
That’s great. We need more independent artists getting mainstream play
@@riana5451 🙏!! I 100% agree!
Good and they need the credit been putting up some amazing songs.
And it's truth and hart flet.
yes !!
Awesome!!!!
I just recently heard this song. I instantly lost it as I lived thru this hell. Thought to many times about ending my time here on earth. But just as the song says I reached out to my preacher and my Lord and Savior. He told me everything would be alright and now I'm a step father to a great boy, who has grown up to be a great young man. I would NEVER put my hands on a kid. I don't want them to go thru the hell I did.
No sit your not
Sir
As a child the church community turned a blind eye to my father abusing me. It was the people the church said were no good that stepped up to protect me. The neighbor that was more of a father to me than my biological father was a member of the hells angels. Ironically he's the one that put the fear of God into my father
Yo an GREAT STEP DAD , MY ❤ GOES OUT TO U WEN U WERE AN LIL CHILD , U Turned Around with Yo STEP Son , Yo The AweSome , Great , Beautiful Man , Husband, nd DADDY , GOD BLESS YOU ND YO FAMILY , THIS SONG DOES HIT THE ❤❤
This is a beautiful song.a reminder that no matter what we go through in life,of we follow Jesus we will have a eternity in a beautiful,loving place with no more sadness and suffering
We adopted a little girl, 2 weeks old. When I picked her up the first time, it felt like I was picking my daughter. That was 18 months ago. Now we have her little brother, my son, 1 month old. Tell you what, I am blessed to have them as my kids!
That's amazing ❤️
You are the man!
An Amazing GIFT 🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸
God bless you!
Beautiful! A lucky one!❤️
As a pastor and a man, this song is very powerful. We as men should be there to protect our wives and children. Please God continue to cover and protect all the women and children that have to deal with abuse, in Jesus Name!!!
Amen
Amen your not much of a person if you hit on a child or a woman
Amen
Amen 🙌
Yeah, go that way go
As a child I was abused by my own father. Broken bones. Split skull. This song hits me like a ton of bricks.
Heaven is real, folks and GOD answers prayers.
I’m sorry that is your father but He should have gone to jail for doing that!
Oh my God 41 seconds in and I have a ball in my throat. Cheers crashing down my face. After a minute and one I’m Ballin. I don’t even know how he got through singing that song.
This guy deserves an award for this song it really hits home
@Caden Mercer it really does hit at your heart strings
It hits home for a lot of us.
This song is INCREDIBLE... point is that this is real... behind closed doors ..
Yes
I totally agree with you about the award.
Im a grown ass man. How dare you put a tear in my beer
Haha me on my joint 🎖
You are better then alcohol. Smoke some good weed my dude! That liquid courage leads you nowhere but being emotional like a female 👎
@@hounddog2952 legalization of marijuana in the world 😥😥😥
Lol. My son is 34 . When Tim McGraw came out with the song . If your reading this. My son said the same exact thing. ✨✌️💜🎶
@@hounddog2952 lol yeah. I only drink once a week and smoke delta 8 cbd everyday. Im ex LEO and have ptsd. Delta 8 has done wonders for me.
Wow,.. as a Dad, the emotions this song brings out is like a roller coaster. How anyone can be the cause of a child's pain is incredibly heinous,.. this is why it's written "it would be better if a millstone is tied around their neck and drowned in the depths of the sea"...
I have a nephew that has been in coma for 27 yrs since age 9 I think of him is heaven real cause truth be told his own dad did this to him my momma and father put there life on hold to take care of him now it's me my momma and son we need prayers for momma your music helps us thank you Patricia Lynn Lane aka Ellis that's me thank u for your music helping me come and feel better through all this God bless yall
I'm almost 40 years old and this song touched something I thought couldn't hurt me no more.
First time I heard this song I walked away. I could not handle it when the boy ended up in the hospital. I finally listen to the whole thing. It hurt so much I have four kids and could never be with someone who ever laid their hands on my child! My baby daddy did that to both of us and I disappeared in the middle of the night! Ran so fast and so hard!
Men don't abuse women or children. But older boys that NEVER BECOME MEN do Men are protective of women and children.
God bless you for knowing God and trusting yourself to get you and your babies out of that situation. Pamela you are one tough lady.
Protect those babies at all cost! I pray that God shelters them from all evil🙏
I’m a 45 year old man and this song hit me so deep and brought up memories of the little boy I once was and helpless ….i cried like a little boy
I am so sorry you had to go through that. Thankfully you are still here.
Unbelievably powerful and moves me to tears! Fellas, I know I am not the only one that is moved to tears! INCREDIBLE song and I have it on my play list and on loop.
Makes me cry every time. A co-worker several years ago used to occasionally bring his son to work with him...unknown to me at the time was him and his wife were divorced, sometimes the only time he got to see his son was during the week...thank god we worked in an office with just a few of us there so he could have his son with him at work and enjoy what little time he had with his son...his ex-wife and boyfriend had primary custody of the boy. His dad kept telling CPS they needed to go do a welfare check on the kid, every time they would the ex-wife and boyfriend always had some excuse as to where the kids was, at a friend's, sick, with family, etc...they never demanded to physically see the boy...FAILURE OF the system that is supposed to be protecting these kids. We had just got out of the field from our 2 week training, we were unloading everything and basically getting ready to head home when we found out that the boy was missing. Turned out the ex-wife and boyfriend were beating, and starving the boy, locked him in a closet, etc. Basically they beat him and starved him to death....the boyfriend threw the kid in the canal out behind the place they were living....Its so sad even now 16 years later I still think about it....I still remember that little boy running around the office asking everyone to play with him, he'd sit on the floor and play with his toys always on edge with every loud noise that occurred....never thought about it until everything came to light during the search for him, and the aftermath....its beyond sad that something like this could happen until it happens to someone you know.
My brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus please join me in praying for my precious grandson who sent this song to me.
He is 7 yrs old.
Deeply grateful for your prayers.
I hope your grandson is safe no kid deserves to feel this way my prayers are with you & him
@@justinturpin7865 So very grateful for your prayers.
Recently my daughter has removed my grandson from my life.
My grandson seeks the Lord and I have been a vessel for him seeking Jesus. He has accepted Jesus as Lord of his life.
My daughter tells my grandson there is no God.
I pray for her mind, heart and soul.
Praying for a reconciliation.
I believe she has lied to him...told him something happened to me.
She did the same thing to his father...told him he probably died of covid when he was 5.
She and her boyfriend have been terrible to him but they come out looking good to everyone.
Narcissistic, evil.
Yes pray my brother in Lord Jesus.
@@RepentTimeIsAtHand praying for him & they don’t sound like great people i hope you’re grandson is okay there is a god & with enough praying he will keep that boy safe
💯%
Prayers
Much needed song😢😭 I’ve literally stood between the kids and ex husband to keep them from his drunken abuse. Alcohol makes some folks mean. Thanking the good Lord, we survived that awful past.
I feel so blessed that my parents introduced me to Jesus and that booze was never a big draw for me
I been where you are with ex aka baby daddy being a abusive and addict alcohol and drugs being in middle pulling to keep kids safe there parent not right mind . My ex in this video playing abusing bf and on wrong side tracks . He a recovery addict now and so am I
My uncle passed away on November 19 2023 and this was his favorite song LONG LIVE TERRY ❤
May he rest in peace
As a father and husband this breaks my heart. I would do anything to protect my family. Our house is known all over our neighborhood as a safe place for anyone to come if they need help.
When you’ve been that kid before this song hits home. Bless the little ones who never get to be little. May they Rest In Peace forever never having to hurt again.
Thank you man this happened to me since I was 2 and it all stopped when I was 9 and my dad came back and helped me and my mom and I will never forget that this song makes me cry everything I hear it
Bro this is me bro my dad hasn't come back still I em now 15 he ain't put a finger on me
Amen
I went through it with every one of my mom's ex's including my father until she met the man I called dad when I was 14 and I never had to worry about getting abused .
Thanks men am 15 and it's been like it for me since I was 8 now am trying to find a job to help my mom
When you grew up being this kid this song hits totally different.. protect your children always ❤️ 🙏
Yes it does
Grew up like his kid step dad was a cruel bastard then die but wished I would a lot of times
Absolutely
Yes I protect my children. I never want them to experience what I went through.
Yes it sure does 😞😭
Im a 30 year old man, and I still can't make it through this song without tears. One powerful song!
Same here 😢
Me too
@vincentvega5193 hits different if you have kids too.
Man 😢😢 I’ve listened to this song probably 100 times and know it word for word and every time it tears me down inside…. This is probably my favorite song!!! I just can’t understand for the life of me why someone man or woman would want to harm an innocent child 😢😢 they didn’t ask to be here in this nasty cruel world.!!!! There’s so many people married couples that can’t have children and some that can have them, don’t want them… 😢 and that breaks my heart. I have 4 beautiful children that I love dearly ❤ and I honestly wouldn’t know what to do without them! People…Men and Women if you don’t want your child give them to a family that with love them and take care of them… Don’t punish that child because you don’t want to be a responsible parent… its not their fault. God look over these innocent children and put them in a place they can be wanted and loved as they should be 🙏🙏🙏🙏😩😭😭😭. Don’t abuse the children 🙏. God bless.
I AGREE WITH YOU 100%, ,, I HAD 5 CHILDREN ND I PROTECTED MY CHILDREN FROM ANY1 WIT ALL MY ❤ , MY CHILD HOOD WASN T TOO GREAT BUT I TURNED IT AROUND WEN I GOTTEN MARRIED , I have more to text but it ll be to long wen I was an Child , This Is An BEAUTIFUL SONG , 1ST TIME HEARING THIS AWESOME, GREAT SONG ❤❤❤❤
I haven't said this about a song in awhile but this one really got to me. My parents had an open door policy when we were growing up. I can't count the times we had teens sleeping on the floor of our little 2 bedroom trailer in the boondocks. We were poor but we shared what we had & Our home was a safe home for so many kids, some came to our home to escape abuse. This song...*sigh* just brought tears to my eyes. We don't know what others go thru.
My door is always open too, same thing, I've had kids sleeping on the floor in the living room several times over the years. They may have only been there that night, or a couple nights, or whatever, but they knew they were safe, they knew nobody was going to get to them, I think for most that was the first time they'd really slept in days, weeks, out of fear.
We may not be their parents but I sure as hell will do anything to keep a child safe from the hands of an abuser. There's no excuse to ever hurt a child, I don't care how mad you are at them, NEVER HURT A CHILD period. Walk away, leave, whatever, don't ever lay your hands on a child in anger and/or hate.

Miss Gina, you may have not had much, nothing extra, and maybe your family got by on scraps and handouts. Trust me, kitten...I know. I understand.
But you weren't poor. Not then, not now. You were shown Love, taught Faith and watched in real time as Charity was manifest as an example of how to be a decent person. You are blessed to have instilled in you an education that most Americans could afford, but won't tolerate, even though it were free. You were taught to be humble, kind, generous of your meager wealth and your empathy. You are richer than most. You understand the potentiality and power of charity.
Poverty is not the lack of money, gold...stuff. True poverty is in the mind, a loss of hope...a loss of faith...a loss of charity. Shakespeare said, "to thine own self be true." Remember...love. Just love.
1 CORINTHIANS 13
1.Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5. doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6. rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7. beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Sorry for the ramble, the Holy Spirit stole my phone for a bit. Be well and blessed. 🙏
@@stone-coldsteveautism6986 thank you for the message 🎚🙏🏻 ✝️Amen
Wow I ain't even got words for this my heart hurts for children like this
Dear lord Jesus. This song has got me pouring my eyes out right now. This is so courageously out there. Even some foster kids have it bad. Bless them all.
Llaaaaaaaa LA qqllll LA llallqlql
Ppppqqqqqqqqqqq
🥺🥺
Not just in the foster homes but on every street corner, camped in the homeless camps turned to the bottle or the crack pipe, giving up on themselves, living out their last days outside of where most live in solitary loneliness just needing a friendly smile or touch
It breaks your heart to see it
Same I was driving home from a 12 hour night shift and listening to this and hauling
Please Jesus come ! We need you , this ole word needs fixin! ❤
This song broke me 😢 this song will bring any grown ass man to he's knees 😢❤❤
Was with my boy (4) when this came on my playlist. Had a tear going down my face and he wiped it away. Damn could never do that to my little man.
I’m a woman almost 60. But this song put me right back to being that little girl. Brought me to tears on my knees. Thank you for doing this song. I swear the whole world should have to listen to it over and over like I just did. You guys are amazing!!!
the tears are for the survival of the past painful experience we all go thru from abusive parent in the 90's, thanks to JESSE for the documentation..
Exactly how I feel too
@@marieperez1038 you're also a privilege survival
God bless you
😢❤❤❤❤
So underrated . These guys should be at the top of the music charts for sure. They don't have one bad song at all
I agree
I agree
So true i was listing to overtime when i found one song now i cant listen to any thing else.
He should be number 1 on the charts
Amen
This song & Alyssa Lies is too real for many people especially for me. I'm about to turn 60 and I remember like it's yesterday going through the abuse and physical wasn't even the only type. Mother was abusive and so was her guy friends. I still remember laying in bed praying for God to just take me, I couldn't keep taking everything. I left home at 16 ( legal age in my state where I couldn't get in trouble for leaving & couldn't be forced to go back) I never went back. I had two beautiful, wonderful sons i would have gladly put the orange suit on and I'd been smiling in the mugshot to protect my kids from just a fraction of the abuse I had to go through. Today I would for my grandkids and I'd do it to make sure my kids were always able to be right there for their kids.
This brings me to tears every time I listen to it. Beautiful song and I can't wait to go either heaven is a real place
My dad preached when I was growing up, he was also abusive. The fact that I'm an Afghanistan veteran and sitting here crying, speaks volumes for this song. Very good job and thank you.
Thsank you for your service. God Bless!
@@pamkennedy9332 You're welcome Pam
Sorry for what you went through. Thank you for your service 🙏. God bless you brotha
@@lovedbygod. Thank you
Hope you’re okay brother. I’m a Iraq veteran, combat medic. I feel you’re pain.
As an orphan, this song hits differently. I was there as the lil boy. Was put in group homes afterwards that was just as bad. Brings me to my knees with eyes full of tears every time I hear this song
Copy that brother! Same here! 😢
Hugs n prayers sent up for You
I was a foster child myself and went through more than soldiers that went 2 war have been through. This song gets me 2
Prayers 🙏🏼🥺
In prayer for you beloved❤️
Adults are soposed to protect and love are children when i was a child my dad was an alcoholic and he beat us all the time and no one saved us and i always wondered why my mom didn't leave him and our neighbors did nothing as a young mother I adored my children and loved them this is what a real parent should do this song broke 💔 my heart
wow, simply wow...I wanted to crawl through the screen, gather the crying boy in my arms and run, very impactful
I'm 58 my dad was always there and is still with us. I thank him for showing my brother and i how to be a man.
Thats whats up right there im glad that you spoke up for you pops dads lives matter im happy to see your comment there is not a lot of good dads out there im glad yall had one
@@jonathanfox5388 thank you.my dad just left in his ford truck. 79 years young. He is one cool old dude.
We all thank him.... the world definitely needs good men now..
Amen
I'm 1 of 19 kids in my family. All of 15 were adopted by my parents and 4 of their own. I was adopted at a young age I only know 1 family. But I watched every one come and go and the damages that some have been through. This song hits it right on top of the head. Brought me straight to tears. Wish no child had to deal with it
I am a 36 year old female who grew and came from an abusive and broken down family and then put into foster care by the age of 10 ,this song definitely hits home and is very true for so many kids who are unable to defend themselves this defiantly puts a tear to my eyes, keep up the great music thanks for allowing us to all listen and experience the dark and cruel ways of time and truth about life
I just heard this today. To the men that haven’t quit, don’t wait for a miracle, you are one. To the many like me that had memories flood the mind throughout this song, that god size hole in your heart can only be filled by Christ our mighty champion,
100% ONE OF THE MOST HEART TOUCHING SONGS I HAVE EVER HEARD❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯THIS GUY HAS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!
This song speaks right to me. I was that little boy. The humility, the pain, the depression my stepfather caused can never be taken back or forgotten. This song makes me cry. It literally is so accurate on how I felt for years
This was the first comment i read and its exactly what i was thinking and feeling. I will never forget what I was I put through as a kid and young adult because of my stepfather
The both of you deserved real guidance prayers to both of you.
You are loved by God!
😭😭 my heartbreaks for kids who weren't blessed with good step parents. I'm so sorry! My stepdad was amazing I couldn't imagine
So sorry
this hits home for me because i was like that little boy in this song. but i didnt have anyone to help me. until i spoke up and got the help that i needed. i prayed for heaven every day when i was alone with my abuser. thank you for bringing attention to childhood abuse. love all of your music.
If this song doesn't bring a tear to your eyes, You ain't alive!!!
This brings a tear to my eyes and puts a fire in my soul! To know that this happens and there isn’t enough we can do kills me inside. I pray that maybe I can get up close and personal with a few of these kind of people so I can show them what a real beating feels like!
In the same breath, I wish I could take every child like this and shelter them from ever being treated like this, to let them know what love is…
Amen me to
AMEN!!!!!
Amen brother! Your not alone.
I wish there were more people like you while I was in foster care....There was so much bad shit that happened to me that now I suffer from anxiety, and PTSD it was absolutely horrible
☝🙏☝
Unfortunately this abuse happens more times than we think..😟
GOD BLESS
all GODS children..
Beautiful song..☺
One awesome song with a great message. This song needs to be played every single day for the underdog, those who have suffered and are suffering child abuse. I hope this gets a lot of airplay on the radio. It touches the heart ❤️. To the songwriter and singer keep it going.
As a father myself I cry every time I watch this video I can say this if someone ever hurts my son u better run and hide cause not even God can help
This song needs to be heard by everyone. What a powerful song. Thank you for this. No kid should be in this and I cry every single time. 😢
This hits home for me tonight. 10 years ago my little nephew, almost 2 years was beaten and killed by his momma and her boyfriend. Had him on my mind tonight. I know heavens real and I know he's there with a big smile. Sissy misses you Cole. Until we meet again lil man. 🙌
Omg i got goosebumps everywhere lord bless yall.Breaks my heart
🙏🙏🙏
That is really sad I am so sorry for your lost no child should have to go through being abused so badly that they don't survive it that is just horrific I am sorry but I think his momma and her boyfriend should have to go through what your nephew did so sorry
I'm sorry to hear that keep your head up
So sorry!!!
Can't listen to this song without crying. Got to be a Guinness world record
That is no lie.

This song found me last night and I balled my eyes out. I must have listened to it about 10 times. The guy who wrote this song must have lived through some really bad shit like me. I hope it inspires people in the same situation to speak up and stop the violence before it’s too late. God bless everyone and especially those who have made it through the evil that these men do.
Picked up my son this evening for the weekend, he asked if we could listen to this song on our way home, I'd never listened to y'all before but this one had me in tears and thinking about my childhood after my mom and dad divorced.....damn, this is a great song, still listening to it, we got home 3 hours ago.
Speechless....but can say that this hit a soft spot, as a young teenage girl I was abused and had to live my life for many years struggling with the emotional and mental trauma that abuse can bring upon a victim. Only until recently, and I'm 53 yrs old, have I realized that God is and has been my saving grace!
Amen can I get an amen
Amen god bless you sweetie
Amen prayer for you
I’ve heard this song before. But oh man. This was the way my kids were raised 40 years ago. Lord I’m so sorry. How could they have ever forgive me
Anytime I hear the first couple of chords of this song, eyes well up with tears & get chills. This one hits real close to home, it hurts bc it’s true. And when someone sings about your life story, it makes you feel a certain type of way & there’s a realization that you aren’t alone. This is so common in our society today & that’s the worst part of it all! God bless all of y’all 🥺🧡
Song should be on every station in America... Sadly few know it. Being a father, this was hard to listen to knowing this is a reality to far to many children. Still is every time I play it. Always protect your children, always protect children period, whether they are yours or not.🙏
This is a meaning song I always wonder why I brought a tear to my dad eye whenever he listened to it I stopped one time and listened and man this hits to close to home
@@Masterqueefinbbc
Everyone should
Right to the bone
Agree with you a hundred percent it shouldn't matter if the kids are ours or not the point is that we are their protectors and we should be happy to help All children
I have listened to this song on repeat for 3 days. My little brother went to heaven last year. Now he was grown. But he was my baby. This song brings me comfort on a level I haven’t felt in almost 2 years. Heavens a real place
I'm sorry for your loss but hes in a better place now
So so sorry for your loss! Rest EASY Baby Boy
I am soo sry for ur loss at least u know he is ok
My deepest condolences 💐 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will make you smile.
God bless
As a almost 50 year old man with grand kids. This brings me to tears. Such a great song
If u tear up when u hear music like this, u have feelings. Compassion for others when they r dealing with such things in life , is need for most . Feelings. I cry as well .
I am a man , with a biggg heart . Biggg feelings. U r not alone .
I am right there with you both. I wear my emotions in my sleeve.
I am just a young man with a wife and a daughter and this song makes me want to do right by them and teach them about God and the church. This song is great. ❤
God bless you
You should teach them about God, and take them to church! I’m 18 and goes to church every sunday
Just remember going to church isn't what gets you to heaven accepting Jesus as your lord and savoir is what gets you there
I'm the same but I don't believe in these churches man can't trust anybody these days I read my Bible and speak to God but I can't make myself go to church idk if it's right or not but I hope to help my babies find God somehow
I'm a 63yr old female and came from a broken home, at 2 yrs old in 1960 (unheard of)! I've been saying this for years...Mamas STOP bringing a bunch of different men around your babies!! You can date, you can have a life, it's all good, just don't bring them home to share your bed, your home, your family til they're ready to share their name!!! Your baby's lives may depend on it!!
Wow! Somebody has some commen sense.
This sounds like my mom and aunts story. They had many “uncles” who were abusive. They are all in their 60’s now and were from a broken home all. I’m so sorry this happened to you! ❤
I AGREE WITH YOU
Got me on tears Jesse. That’s my boy when he was little. I still feel the guilt that he went thru that, but I'd be at work when things happened and he was afraid to tell me because he got threatened that he better not or it'd be worse the next time. He never told me until a few years ago and he's 40 now. Absolutely devastated me when he finally let me know. It's a beautiful song It sure hit this mama’s heart awful hard.
I was very fortunate to have a great man in my life ever since I was born my father will forever be my hero
Man, I listened to this song like 10 times back to back. I haven't cried in decades until now. This song hit way to close to home because I was once that kid under similar circumstances. I survived...thanks for a great heartfelt tune.
Nobody should have to go through that
Me too live through it and am so glad i did.
@@tashakirkham2338 seems we think alike...I m glad to have lived through the crap I suffered as that is part of what makes me the man I am today. And I'm still learning lessons from it all.
@@saddlesainta.k.a.scooterwi9686 me too I have some ptsd issues but learning to be open and honest especially with my kids so that they understand when I wog out for what seems like no reason. Being here for them makes all the hurt worth it because I can be better than I got and working to make sure that they are happy and healthy is the best feeling in the world.
@@tashakirkham2338 amen Sister...be for them what you didn't get and be what you wanted. We cant allow what happened to ourselves continue so we gotta stop that cycle by being better.
I have no words. This song is really tough to listen to. I'm a 15 year old boy and the day after my birthday I found out that my 10 year half sister has Leukemia and the first thing she said to the preacher was "im not scared because god has a better plan for me" and this really made me relize always be positve and look to the greater man above.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
🙏🏽❤
Prayers & love for you and your sister 🙏❤️
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
That's true God can take that away I'll be praying
This brings back so much pain but God always finds a way...
This song hits me so hard every time no matter how many times I hear this. Being a father I can’t imagine the pain kids feel across the world that makes them feel heaven is the only answer. God save the children of our world from the monsters that inhabit this planet!
I am a survivor of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and this song really hit home. I remember well feeling exactly like this lil boy. Thank you.
I truly admire and respect your gift...your music.. Wonderful and versatile artist
Morbid Sunshine I wish you and your family the best in life and know human on Earth sld have to go through anything like this or what you have been through😥💪🙏💯 Much Love and Respect to you my friend you will be in my Prayers. 🙏BLESS YOU))🙏
Stay strong same for me
I am too sunshine........I check all of the above.....VERY well said......much love and respect to you.......you can't keep us down but for a short time and we become STRONGER from it!
That sucks. I wish you didn't experience that. Hope you are getting by somewhat ok. SA is my worst hated abuse. They are all bad regardless I must say.
Im so sorry you went threw that i understand that to well
How how how did this song not get any air time? This is a hit. A serious hit and deserves so much more recognition!
It doesn't fit the narrative being pushed. They only want division
It’s finally a hit. Well deserved hit. ❤
For the same reason Disney sat on The Sound of Freedom.
Evil woke people own all the media, including radio stations.
Fr
Has too much religion in it. Mainstream wouldn't allow that.
I consider myself to be a tough lad. Brought up the old school way and tought not to ever show emotion. But i gotta admit. As a father to an amazing son. This song had me in tear
Tears do fall my friend. There is not a man alive that deserves mercy for beating a child!!!
Wow, as a 42 year old man who's been the little boy and is now a foster dad trying to adopt his 1st baby unable to make my own I felt this down to my core. Great song brother. #tears
W9
Jesus loves you and I hope its going good
Is heaven real cause I can't wait to go I can't wait to know how heaven feels is there a place we're there is no more pain or dying no more need no more crying 🙏🙏🙏
I’m so sorry you had to go thru that but I’m praying for you that you get your precious baby you want so badly. God Bless you sir.
@AlexKodi-ny3qy. Wow, that's what the song said...
Oh my god I’m balling within the 1st few seconds of the song!!! I’ve said the same thing to my preacher when I was a little. And even when I been older I’ve prayed for heaven many times
This song hits me hard I've been in the same position as a child. I was abused so many ways and only God and my guardian angel helped me through it all. The artist here really did a number on this song😢
my dad died so have no dad and get tears from this song all i want is to see my dad in heaven
I tell ya, this one tore me up. Me and my brother grew with an abusive alcoholic dad. I remember once when I was 5 and my brother was 7 we made a deal that my brother would kill me and then kill himself. Luckily we never went through with it. So glad when my mother finally decided to leave him. Thanks for the song, it is amazing.
Hopefully your life is like heaven now.❤
Much love brother, no child should ever be at the point in their life where death is seen as a way out. Hope life is good now and you found happiness.
Sorry to hear that thank god your here
@@richardlayne4565 AMEN this s#!t need TO stop its un amaganal the pain and long term traumatized people are its SO sad ❤💪💪💪🙊🙉🙈
Glad ya guys are still here I was there but alone amazing song just started listening to you n nu bread few weeks ago welcome to my house awesome
I love this song. Finally, someone is telling my story. Fortunately, I graduated and joined the Army. I got out as far away as possible. Retired from the Army and became a teacher. Never looked back until now.
Same ! It is tough man! Glad you’re good and thank you for serving !
Xo ❤️
I dont know you, probably never will, but from a complete stranger, im glad you're still here. I'm sure others in your squad are as well.
Thank you so much for your service and I’m sorry you had to go through that ❤
I’m sorry that you had to endure something so horrific. I’m happy that you made it out of there and went on to be an amazing gentleman that loved our country enough to sacrifice your life for us. Thank you sir for your service. God bless you.
Similar story, but USAF. TYFYS.
Im a 42 year old man and I'm crying like im 5 😭 man what a song!
Very powerful song. I went through alot as kid to boot, so this hits home. Mental and physical abuse, domestic violence, alcohol and drugs. I've listened to this 5 times now today. Now im not religious but damn if this dont choke you up.
I’m a momma of 5, from the south, and can not listen to this song without crying my eyes out. It’s a beautiful song, I wish it wasn’t happening everyday, but it is. I’m a survivor of domestic violence, and I couldn’t imagine someone hurting my babies. Prayers for everyone
It was when he said to the peacher "Is heaven real cause i can't wait to go" Got tears in my eyes.
Me too.
Same here
Song speaks volumes .
This hits hard
Same but keep your head up. I dont believe in any of that but I feel ya
65 in the shower brings tears to my eyes because of the way we treat each other this is sad.
My favorite part of this song will always be right after he says ,"Preacher man why ya crying" ...cause ,I cant wait !
I can't wait much longer either !!! 🙏
The most precious thing in this world is the children. This song made me cry you guys are so on topic every time. You need to realize you are the new folk singers today that we once had. Our world needs this thank you 🙏
People always say that good music will make you feel it emotionally and I can't help but tear up every time I hear this song. Thank you Jesse Howard
I’m 61 yrs old and this song brings tears to my eyes.
This is a beautiful sad song. I know it's hard being a single parent. I was to three after I divorced. No way any man would hurt my kids...not even their Dad. I would protect them with my life
Tears. Beautiful song. Brought back alot of pain from my childhood. No child should ever feel that pain.
yes you're right about that no little child should go through that kind of pain ever again.......
i have
Unfortunately my little son went through this but thankfully their real dad got away from him but the abuse had already started
He was grooming my little boy who had some disabilities and abusing me as well
A REAL MAN knows his job is to love, protect his children. NOT to abuse or abandon them. A REAL MAN also knows how to be a role model for the fatherless child.
You are truly right
I'm there
I was my knees as a baby praying about mom and dad.
Hell the guy in the beginning almost looks like daddy
I 100 percent completely agree
💯 agree. But I will also do time if I ever see anyone hurting mine or any other child.
Wow... ..
You put into words, what I was so long ago.... a little boy, who prayed for a way out, but had none. Wow... I realize with this song, I may have some suppressed pain. I pray for those who may be in this situation.
Brings tears to my eyes. My ex cheated and ran off with my son. He's 7 years old now, I don't even get to talk to him anymore. The thought that she meets some scumbag scares the shit out of me. If I ever find out he's been hurt by anybody, they'll have to bury me below the jail.
Lord I pray for all the kids out there in the world, all the families, please reach into their hearts and give them an angel to watch over them.
Amen 🙏
Thank you for this powerful song.
