Precious Baby Girl
Her laughs sweeter than sugar
Dancing around the room In circles
Until she gets dizzy and can't stand no more
Her smile was contagious
Too bad life happened
And that smile had seen its last days
She had no choice left
But to be courageous
The years went by so fast
But really she's still a baby girl
she doesn't sing and dance anymore
Every morning she has a war with herself to just to get out of bed
Cause they don't come around anymore
So they my as well be dead.
I remember my father used to say
Can't get his words out of my head
"He said knowledge is power"
The problem with that is
The more you know, the less you really wanna know
Underneath it all she's still in longing
This world is so infectious
When it comes to chaos and evil
I wanna slay the dragon
But I seemed to have dropped my weapon
It's there but it's missing
you can call it a mercy killing
for killing my innocence
You got a sick way of looking at things, darlin
I get live to see another day to tell my tragic tale
But underneath it all I'm weeping for
My precious baby girl...
Hollering at the wind
Hoping to slow it down
I don't know where I begin
Or where I'm supposed to end
There so many unwritten pages to my story
So why should it end here?
What would mother say?
If this was back in the day.
Nothing was meant to be easy.
God didn't put any promises in the promise land
Forgotten how to dream my own dream.
Your words have a bitter aftertaste
With you was where my dreams end.
Underneath it all she's still crawling
Suck out the poison slowly
Not all at once
I wanna slay the dragon
But I seemed to have lost my weapon
I feel like somethings missing
You can call it a mercy killing
For killing my innocence
You got sick way of looking at things, darlin
I get to live another day to tell my tragic tale
But underneath it all I'm weeping for
My precious baby girl....
