Lyric The Eleventh Commandment - Collin Raye

Lyric Song The Eleventh Commandment: She hears his heavy breathing in the dark
His footsteps coming closer down the hall
She s so ashamedshe s daddy s secret love
She wants to cryshe wants to diebut 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 inhe hangs his chinhe ducks another blow

Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children

He cries for hourscries and never stops
He shakes so hard his little cradle rocks
He ll never have the chance to be brand new
He ll never walkhe ll never talkhe s addicted too

Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children

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
