Lyrics

So I heard she vanished, that he killed her again.
Heaven turned its back, the earth went black just then.
And I think about my daughter, so innocent and pure.
I'm gonna teach her to fight and to kick and scream so that premature,
She won't end up as an angel.

CHORUS
Why should a girl like her suffer at the hands of a man like him?
It doesn't seem right.
And why should the folks like us never learn the lesson right before our eyes each time?
There is life that's beautiful, and, if a life is beautiful, we should let it be.

And the nation is in mourning, its insides churning. What's new?
But the sting falls off the radar, with the pace our lives are, way too soon.
And I see my sleeping daughter. What if she were next?
I guess I've come to believe we should end the run of an uncivilized freak like that,
Put him out of our misery.
