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

The bruises on his face will go away,

Mom keeps him home from school till they fade
Shes 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 aught have been written

The eleventh commandment, honor thy children

He crys for hours, crys 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 aught have been written

The 11 commandment honor thy children

Thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal thou shall not take the lords name in vain

Thou shall not cause thy children pain.
God does not over look it.
What aught have been written the 11th commandment

Honor thy children,
Honor thy children
