A little girl down on her knees
Saying "I lay me down to sleep
Lord bless us with a happy home
And please make Daddy leave me alone."
Cause the way he kisses her goodnight
She knows that something's
Does she ask for things to be okay?
Or ask for wings to fly away?
It's hard for her to know
Cause it seems the man she chose
Has a side that no one knows
Her makeup hides the tell- tale scars
But not the wounds inside her heart
Does she ask the Lord for strength to stay?
Or ask for help to get away?
Sometimes it's hard to know
The preacher called and said,
Hate in your heart is no way to live
Suddenly she was ten years old
Should she ask the Lord to ease his pain?
Or ask for angels to take him away?
Sometimes it's hard to know
