My (G)lit tle girl
met a (D)new friend
(C)just the oth er day
on the (G)play ground at school
be tween the (C)tires and the swings.
But she came (D)home with tear filled
eyes,
when she (G)said to me, “Dad dy,
A lys sa (C)lies.”
Well, I just (D)brushed it off at
first,
’cause I did n’t know how much my (C)lit tle girl had been hurt
or the things that she had
seen.
I was n’t (G)read y
when I (D)said,
“You can tell (C)me.”
And she said,
“A lys sa (G)lies
to the class room,
A lys sa (C)lies
ev ’ry day at school.
A lys sa (G)lies
to the teach ers
as she (C)tries
to cov er ev ’ry bruise.”
My (G)lit tle girl
laid her (D)head down
that (C)night to go to sleep.
As I stepped out the room, I (D)heard her say
a (C)prayer so soft and sweet.
“God bless (D)my mom and my
dad
and (G)my new friend A lys sa.
Oh, I (C)know she needs you bad be cause A lys sa
I had the worst
night of sleep in years,
as I (G)tried to think of a way to calm her
fears;
I knew ex act ly what I had to do.
But when we (G)got to school on Mon day, I heard the (D)news.
My (G)lit tle girl
asked (D)me why
ev ’ry (C)bod y looked so sad.
The (G)lump in my throat grew (D)big ger with ev ’ry (C)ques tion that she asked
un til I felt the tears run down my
face
and I (G)told her that A lys sa
would n’t (C)be at school to day.
’Cause she does n’t (G)lie
in the class room,
she does n’t (C)lie
an y more at school.
A lys sa (G)lies
with Je sus
be cause there’s (C)noth ing
that an y one would do.
Tears (D)filled my eyes
when my (Em)lit tle girl asked
me why
A lys sa lies.
Oh, Dad dy, oh, Dad dy, tell me why
A lys sa lies.
