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
