My little girl met a new friend just the other day |
|
On the playground at school |
|
Between the tires and the swings |
|
But she came home with tear-filled eyes |
|
And she said to me, "Daddy, Alyssa lies" |
|
Well I just brushed it off at first |
|
'Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt |
|
Or the things she had seen |
|
I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me |
|
And she said |
|
"Alyssa lies to the classroom |
|
Alyssa lies everyday at school |
|
Alyssa lies to the teachers |
|
As she tries to cover every bruise" |
|
My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep |
|
As I stepped out the room I heard her say |
|
A prayer so soft and sweet |
|
"God bless my mom and my dad |
|
And my new friend Alyssa" |
|
Oh I know she needs you bad because |
|
Alyssa lies to the classroom |
|
Alyssa lies everyday at school |
|
Alyssa lies to the teachers |
|
As she tries to cover every bruise |
|
I had the worst night of sleep in years |
|
As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears |
|
I knew exactly what I had to do |
|
But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news |
|
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad |
|
The lump in my throat grew bigger |
|
With every question that she asked |
|
Until I felt the tears run down my face |
|
And I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today |
|
'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom |
|
She doesn't lie anymore at school |
|
Alyssa lies with Jesus |
|
Because there's nothing anyone would do |
|
Tears filled my eyes |
|
When my little girl asked me why |
|
Alyssa lies |
|
Oh daddy, oh daddy tell me why |
|
Alyssa lies |
