The Eleventh Commandment
She hears his heavy breathing in the dark His foot steps coming closer down the hall She's so ashamed, Shes Daddy's secret love She wants to cry, she wants to die, But he can't get enough
The bruises on his face will go away Mom keeps him home from school till they fade She's sorry he was born and tells him so He takes it in, he hangs his chin, he ducks another blow Did God over look it? What ought have been written The Eleventh Commandment Honor Thy Children
He cries for hours, cries and never stops He shakes so hard his little cradle rocks He'll never have the chance to be brand new He'll never walk, he'll never talk, he's addicted too Did God over look it? What ought have been written The Eleventh Commandment Honor Thy Children
Thou Shalt Not Kill Thou Shalt Not Steal Thou Shalt Not Take The Lord's Name In Vain Thou Shalt Not Cause Thy Children Pain God Does Not Overlook It What Ought Have Been Written
