[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 till 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 kill
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not take the Lord s name in vain
Thou shalt not cause thy children pain
[Outro]
God does not overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
Honor thy children
