Little Angels

(álbum: Back Home Again - 2000)

One summer day a stranger walked up to me and said
Hey little Angel would you please tell me your name
I just turned my head and said, Laura Jane's my name
He said, Laura, would you like to play a game

Too young to know and understand the reason why
This little Angel had to live with so much pain
As a child of only nine I was not to blame
Now my heart must grow beyond the shame

Dear God, keep and eye on little Angels
As they lay down to sleep
I pray their soul's to keep
When mom and dad can't be there
We hope you will hear our prayer
Please don't let other strangers
Hurt one more little Angel

I got called into something
Not knowing right from wrong
Now I pray everyday to be strong
God help me forgive this man
Maybe then I'll understand
Little Angels shouldn't have to live this way

Dear God, keep and eye on little Angels
As they lay down to sleep
I pray their soul's to keep
When mom and dad can't be there
We hope you will hear our prayer
Please don't let other strangers
Hurt one more little Angel
