Collin Raye - The Eleventh Commandment lyrics

rate me

She hears his heavy breathing in the dark

His footsteps coming closer down the hall

She's so ashamed, she's 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 overlook 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 overlook 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

The eleventh commandment

Honor thy children

Honor thy children
