I read about this baby she got beat up by her dad
|
She was nine months old and he was a full grown man
|
She may have been learning how to crawl and he put a fist in her face
|
And the doctor said this baby's gone she can't be replaced
|
Now you read a lot of things in the daily news
|
But I'm laying awake at nights wondering what to do
|
I pray the Lord her soul to keep cause all down here are fast asleep
|
But I want to say this baby belongs to me and you
|
So we gotta wake up this baby belongs to me and you

Everyday when I wake up in this world and it's spinning out of control
|
Who's at the wheel seems no one knows
|
We're all just like a baby frightened and so sad
|
Feeling beat up by someone who looks like dad
|
Now you read a lot of things...
|
So we gotta wake up this baby belongs to me and you
|
