Alyssa lies... so do you, so do II had hoped to get to bed before 2am tonight,as I've been up a bit later than even I like here lately ;PPreviously I mentioned a song and I have tobring it up again because it continues to haunt me.Every time I hear it, it just creates anguish within me.I do OK with it until near the end.The singer's voice captures the emotion- as if it is almost as difficult to say the wordsas it is for me to hear them...The song- is 'Alyssa Lies'.(listen here)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N9brawVaNUI'd rather you listened to it now instead of readingthe ramblings of some guy you probably haven't met.If you've heard it, then we are now on the same page.if you really heard it & felt the words- that choked up feeling within you is the one I'm feeling.It's why I can't sleep tonight...Honestly, and I probably shouldn't think this or wish it- let alone share it. But sometimesI just wish I didn't feel so much.Ah... but this isn't about me.In a way, like the song says - you are my new Friend.And I can't help but wonder what lies you may have- what you cover up; those things that you aren't sharingwith me or anyone who cares about you.This is not where I wanted to go;I didn't mean to drag you into this.My original thoughts were of so many countless childrensuffering needlessly; innocent lives being hurtby those they should be able to trust.When such a beautiful treasure as a child is lost;what sorrow, what grief can compare ?And yet... We're all children - at any age.And there are so many of us who lie.We lie to others, we cover up truths;and worst of all, we lie to ourselves.And even though most of the time it may not endin the taking of a life; far too high a price is paid.And we keep paying that pricebecause it's what we know.All of you - you see me, you see your friends,you see other people - doing things,saying things that are killing us.Emotionally, spiritually, physically...Killing off our happiness killing off our healthkilling off our potential killing off our dreams...
 
I can't tell you what to do with your lives,but will you do ME a favor ?Do what you can for the "Alyssa"s in your World.And if you need a clue as to what they look like,they look a lot like you and I...My little girl met a new friendJust the other dayOn the playground at schoolBetween the tires and the swingsBut she came home with tear filled eyesAnd she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa Lies"Well I just brushed it off at firstCause I didn't know how muchmy little girl had been hurtOr the things she had seenI wasn't ready when I saidyou can tell meAnd she said -------(Chorus)Alyssa LiesTo the classroomAlyssa liesEveryday at schoolAlyssa liesTo the teachersAs she triesto cover every bruiseMy little girl laid her head downThat night to go to sleepAs I stepped out the room I heard her sayA prayer so soft and sweetGod bless my mom and my dadAnd my new friend AlyssaI know she needs you bad------- ChorusAlyssa LiesTo the classroomAlyssa liesEveryday at schoolAlyssa liesTo the teachersAs she triesto cover every bruiseI had the worst night of sleep in yearsAs I tried to think of a way to calm her fearsI knew just what it was I had to do
