[00:00.63]My little girl met a new friend just the other day
[00:06.99]On the playground at school
[00:10.13]Between the tires and the swings
[00:14.43]But she came home with tear-filled eyes
[00:19.68]And she said to me"Daddy Alyssa lies"
[00:27.26]Well I just brushed it off at first
[00:33.61]'Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
[00:39.93]Or the things she had seen
[00:44.98]I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me
[00:51.35]And she said
[00:54.10]"Alyssa lies to the classroom
[01:00.55]Alyssa lies everyday at school
[01:06.86]Alyssa lies to the teachers
[01:13.30]As she tries to cover every bruise"
[01:20.20]My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep
[01:26.44]As I stepped out the room I heard her say
[01:29.84]A prayer so soft and sweet
[01:34.14]"God bless my mom and my dad
[01:39.51]And my new friend Alyssa"
[01:42.27]Oh I know she needs you bad because
[01:45.29]Alyssa lies to the classroom
[01:51.42]Alyssa lies everyday at school
[01:57.72]Alyssa lies to the teachers
[02:04.09]As she tries to cover every bruise
[02:11.71]I had the worst night of sleep in years
[02:17.35]As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
[02:24.41]I knew exactly what I had to do
[02:29.89]But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news
[02:36.45]My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
[02:43.19]The lump in my throat grew bigger
[02:45.92]With every question that she asked
[02:49.80]Until I felt the tears run down my face
[02:55.48]And I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today
[03:04.41]'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom
[03:10.73]She doesn't lie anymore at school
[03:17.22]Alyssa lies with Jesus
[03:23.72]Because there's nothing anyone would do
[03:31.58]Tears filled my eyes
[03:36.02]When my little girl asked me why
[03:41.78]Alyssa lies
[03:52.65]Oh daddy oh daddy tell me why
