this world

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
