Alyssa Lies
Thanks to Lindsay I have found the song I like called Alyssa Lies. It's by Jason Michael Carrol. It's so pretty, and sad, and the music to go with it is so mournful I wanted to cry. Here's the lyrics (again thanks to Lindsay who probably has no clue what I mean):
My little girl met a new friend just the other day
On the playground at school
Between the tires and the swing
But she came home with tear filled eyes
And she said to me "daddy Alyssa lies."
Well I just brushed it off at first
Cause I didn’t know how much my little girl had been hurt
Or the things that she had seen
I wasn’t ready when I said you can tell me
and she said
Alyssa lies to the classroom
Alyssa lies everyday at school
Alyssa lies to the teachers
As she tries to cover every bruise
My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep
As I stepped out of 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 because
Alyssa lies to the classroom
Alyssa lies everyday at school
Alyssa lies to the teachers
As she tries to cover every bruise
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 wouldn’t be at school today
Cause 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
I think that song is so pretty. I love it. I want to see the music video for it. Then again I might actually cry during it.
I am also wondering something with country singers: how many of them are actually Christians? If you listen to a country station at least three in every five songs has the mention of God or Jesus in it. Even if it's just a mention. But how many of them are really Christians, and how many are just pretending? It's a good question.
OH, and I'm jealous of Steph. See theirs an author in our school. An actual published author! And she got to meet him! NO FARE! Not fare at all! That's why I'm jealous, don't worry Steph it'll be over by Monday.

That is such a sad song. Beautiful, but sad.
I think that the singers that say they're Christians actually are. Their behaviour would reflect it otherwise.

I'd gladly switch places with you. It's unnerving, immensely so, and he spent 5-10 minutes talking about Canadian geese just because I'd mentioned them in one poem. And I'd never thought that much about the meaning of one word - I don't take my writing that seriously. Not as seriously as you.

Hailey, do you pay attention at all when we correct your spelling? We must have corrected FAIR a gazillion times already, yet you continue to butcher it.
Very depressing song! Why on earth would you love it? I'll have to listen to it for myself...
