The Eleventh Commandment

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 shall not kill
 Thou shall not steal
 Thou shall not take the Lord's name in vain
 Thou shall not cause thy children pain
 God does not overlook it
 What ought have been written
 The eleventh commandment
 Honor thy children
 Honor thy children
