Paul Worley - The Eleventh Commandment lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] The bruises on his face will go away Mom keeps him home from school 'til they fade She's sorry he was born and tells him so He takes it in, he hangs his chin, he ducks another blow [Chorus] Did God overlook it What ought have been written The eleventh commandment Honor thy children [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Did God overlook it What ought have been written The eleventh commandment Honor thy children [Bridge] Thou shalt not k** Thou shalt not steal Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain Thou shalt not cause thy children pain [Chorus] God does not overlook it What ought have been written The eleventh commandment Honor thy children Honor thy children
