Dear mr. jesus
I just had to write to you
Something really scared me

When i saw it on the news

A story about a little girl,

Beaten black and blue.
Jesus thought i'd take this right to you.


Dear mr. jesus
I don't understand
Why they took her mom and dad away

I know they don't mean to hit
With wild and angry hands
Tell them just how big they are, i pray.


Chorus:
Please don't let them hurt your children...

We need love and shelter from the storm...
Please don't let them hurt your children...
Won't you keep us safe and warm...


Dear mr. jesus
They say that she may die

Oh i hope the doctors stop the pain.
I know that you could save her
And take her up to the sky

So she will never have to hurt again.

Please don't let them hurt your children...

We need love and shelter from the storm...
Please don't let them hurt your children...
Won't you keep us safe and warm...


Dear mr. jesus
Please tell me what to do

And please don't tell my daddy,
But my mommy hits me too.


Please don't let them hurt your children...
We need love and shelter from the storm...
Please don't let them hurt your children...

Won't you keep us safe and warm...

Please don't let them hurt your children...

They need love and shelter from the storm...
Please don't let them hurt your children...
Won't you keep us safe and warm...
