I am using this song with clients. So thankful that you believed in the need to address the men. There is nothing out there like this.

Underneath the Noise
Gives men permission to be viewed also as survivors of childhood sexual abuse, not just perpetrators. Gets past judgements based on outward emotions to the real pain that’s hidden beneath.
Underneath the Noise
Underneath The Noise
Words & Music by Brian Parker
Underneath the noise of my angry voice
There’s a wounded boy who’s been buried deep
Not allowed to speak of the things that happened
They say being a victim makes me weak
Toughen up, play the villain
Men with feelings don’t pay the bills
Maybe all, I’m yelling for
Is a chance to feel…
I’m still alive inside this man… Wounded
Told not to cry, men keep it in
Oh, I know I’m
More than a problem
More than a threat
More than a life filled with regret
Before I lose control again
Could you try to find the wounded boy
Underneath the noise
Instead of Grief, I have come to believe
there’s a need for anger and misbehavior
Instead of grace, I’ve was given the blame
And lost everything I worked so hard to gain
Take away from this villain
I should learn to control myself
Could it be, that my anger
Is a cry for help…
I’m still alive inside this man… Wounded
Told not to cry, men keep it in
Oh, I know I’m
More than a problem
More than a threat
More than a life filled with regret
Before I lose control again
Could you try to find the wounded boy
Underneath the noise
Underneath I hear this grieving and pleading
And no one finds their light in hiding
I’ll name the pain to stop all my lying, fighting
I never knew how much this boy was TRYING
Trying to cry out from this man… “See me!!!!”
Could anyone else understand?
i want to be
Somebody’s husband
Somebody’s friend
Somebody loved and whole again
If Jesus really heals the wounded boy
Maybe then this man could always hear that voice
Underneath the noise
Underneath the noise
