歌词
These nights, these days, this young girl's so afraid
Here in the moon's soft light she's praying
'Cause she knows if he stays, there'll be a price to pay
Her and his son's new life, he wants to go inside and she sees
That he can't control his disease
But he'd never hit her if she hadn't screamed
Looks like she's waiting for the shorter hand
But I wonder if she knows how slow it goes
She's got two evils and she can't decide
If she weighs her choices right, it tips one side
One new life, one bad guy
So young, so scared, a big world where no one cares
Oceans of faith recede to waste lands
It's too bad, it makes me so sad
To see another have to grow up without a dad
At least not one like he needs, a man who leads
He's got too much rage
'Cause he's way too old for his age
And I doubt he'll ever grow to change his ways
Looks like she's waiting for the shorter hand
But I wonder if she knows how slow it goes
She's got two evils and she can't decide
If she weighs her choices right, it tips one side
One new life
God, give her courage now to decide
So hard to know what's wrong and right
She needs to know what's best for her son
Not this one, leave him here
Looks like she's waiting for the shorter hand
But I wonder if she knows how slow it goes
She's got two evils and she can't decide
If she weighs her choices right, it tips one side
One new life, one bad guy
