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 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
