HER PARENTS
NEVER TOOK
THE YOUNG GIRL
TO CHURCH
NEVER SPOKE
OF HIS NAME
NEVER READ HER
HIS WORD
TWO NON-BELIEVERS
WALKING LOST IN
THIS WORLD
TOOK THEIR BABY
WITH THEM
WHAT A SAD LITTLE GIRL
HER DADDY DRANK
ALL DAY
AND MOMMY
DID DRUGS
NEVER WANTED
TO PLAY
OR GIVE KISSES
AND HUGS
SHE'D WATCH THE T.V.
AND SIT THERE
ON THE COUCH
WHILE HER MOM
FELL ASLEEP
AND HER DADDY
WENT OUT
AND THE DRINKING
AND THE FIGHTING
JUST GOT WORST
EVERY NIGHT
BEHIND THEIR COUCH
SHE'D BE HIDING
OH WHAT A SAD
LITTLE LIFE
4 BAR
BREAK
AND LIKE IT ALWAYS DOES
THE BAD
JUST GOT WORST
WITH EVERY SLAP
AND EVERY CURSE
UNTIL HER DADDY
IN A DRUNK RAGE
ONE NIGHT
USED A GUN
ON HER MOM
AND THEN TOOK HIS LIFE
AND SOME PEOPLE
FROM THE CITY
TOOK THE GIRL
FAR AWAY
TO A NEW MOM
AND A NEW DAD
KISSES AND HUGS
EVERY DAY
4 BAR
BREAK
HER FIRST DAY OF
SUNDAY SCHOOL
THE TEACHER
WALKED IN
AND A SMALL
LITTLE GIRL
STARED AT A PICTURE
OF HIM
SHE SAID I KNOW
THAT MAN UP THERE
ON THAT CROSS
I DON'T KNOW
HIS NAME
BUT I KNOW HE GOT OFF
'CAUSE HE WAS THERE IN
MY OLD HOUSE
AND HELD ME CLOSE
TO HIS SIDE
AS I HID THERE
BEHIND OUR COUCH
THE NIGHT
THAT MY PARENTS DIED
