Story song written directly after a friend spoke to me of his messy marital break-up!

I Heard His Name
I heard my name, called across the crowd
There`s a singer up on stage and the band was playing loud
I heard my name, coming through again
Saw a hand above the heads of the women and the men
…I heard my name.
I said “my God”, I heard you went away
It`s great to see you man, have you come back home to stay?
I said “my God”, you look awful thin
What`s been going on?.. He said “where do I begin”
…I said “my God”.
Well it aint right, she’s stolen both my pearls
Turned them against me now and you know I love my girls
It`s just aint right, she’s taken everything
Now I`m hangin` onto life by a prayer and a wing
…Well it aint right.
He said “I`m scared”, there’s a rumour goin` `round
And there’s lies upon the lies on this poisoned battleground
He said “I`m scared”, I hear voices in the night
Shoutin` down the phone at me and threatening my life
…He said “I`m scared”.
What can I do, I hardly sleep at all
I`m fallin` in the door and I`m climbing up the walls
What can I do, …. ah the worry and the stress
I had to call the law it`s a complicated mess
…What can I do.
I said “you gotta hang on”, to the bitter end
`cause justice will prevail and the truth will be your friend
You gotta hang on, fight for what you love
There’s music in your veins, find the passion in your blood
…You gotta hang on.
I saw a smile, come pushin` through the pain
He picked up his guitar and walked out in the rain
I heard his name, called across the crowd
Now he’s singing up on stage and the band is playin` loud
…I heard his name…
…I heard his name…
…I heard his name…
