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....
