Mouths Of Babes

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned
I've come to pay my dues
Pay my penance beneath the robes
I know not what I do
Holy water rain on me and wash my sins away
Bless me, Father, on my knees
Is this how I pray?

Tie your chain around my neck and cast me to the sea
A little one is led astray, the innocence in me
INTO THE WOMB OF THE DAUGHTER
WHERE THE DECEIVERS PLAY
STRAIGHT FROM THE HAND OF A "FATHER"
INTO THE MOUTHS, INTO THE MOUTHS OF BABES

Daddy what are you doing here?
Why did you lock the door?
Confusion floods her trusting eyes as he pins her to the floor
Guilt and depression overcome while silently she cries
Then one night when she's all alone, the young girl takes her life

Tie your chain around my neck and cast me to the sea
A little one has died today, the innocence in me
INTO THE WOMB OF THE DAUGHTER
WHERE THE DECEIVERS PLAY
STRAIGHT FROM THE HAND OF A "FATHER"
INTO THE MOUTHS, INTO THE MOUTHS OF BABES

Tie your chain around my neck and cast me to the sea
A little one has died today, the innocence in me
INTO THE WOMB OF THE DAUGHTER
WHERE THE DECEIVERS PLAY
RIPPED FROM THE HEART OF A MOTHER
A LIFE IS THROWN AWAY
SEE HIM INJECT HIS POISON
TOO YOUNG THEY SEE THEIR GRAVES
STRAIGHT FROM THE HAND OF A "FATHER"
INTO THE MOUTHS, INTO THE MOUTHS OF BABES
There is healing in Jesus, There's forgiveness in Jesus, There is healing in Jesus
INTO THE MOUTHS OF BABES
There is healing in Jesus, There's forgiveness...
