Some Things Just Shouldn't Be On The Radio

I heard this song the other day as I was driving down 620. I almost lost control of my vehicle, and I barely made it home. Don't get me wrong ... this is a BEAUTIFUL song. It gives me goosebumps, and it brings quite strong emotions roaring to the surface of one's person. I can't even hear the beginning without bawling my eyes out.

This song almost caused a car accident.

It's called Alyssa Lies by Jason Michael Carroll. I think this boy's going to be famous.

Here are the lyrics, and you can hear the song at www.myspace.com/jasonmichaelcarroll

My little girl met a new friend
Just the other day
On the playground at school
Between the tires and the swings
But she came home with tears in her eyes
And she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa Lies"

I just brushed it off at first
Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
Or the things she had seen
I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me
And she said

Chorus
Alyssa Lies
To the classroom
Alyssa lies
Everyday at school
Alyssa lies
To the teacher
As she tries to cover every bruise

My little girl laid her head down
That night to go to sleep
As I stepped out the room I heard her say
A prayer so soft and sweet
God bless my mom and my dad
And my new friend Alyssa
I know she needs you bad

Chorus

I had the worst night of sleep in years
As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
I knew just what it was I had to do
But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
The lump in my throat grew bigger
With every question that she asked
Until I felt the tears run down my face
And I told her that Alyssa wasn't there at school today

She doesn't lie
In the classroom
She doesn't lie
Anymore at school
Alyssa lies
With Jesus
Because there's nothing anyone would do

Tears filled my eyes
When my little girl asked me why
Alyssa lies
Daddy tell me why
Alyssa lies
