my mom called me all upset about a country song she had just heard on the radio called "alyssa lies" i've never heard of it but she wants me to check it out. i guess it's about a little girl whose parent(s) beat her??

Mylittle girl met a new friend,
just the other day,
on the playground at school
between the tires and the swings
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 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 the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
"God bless my mom and my Dad
and my new friend, Alyssa
*oh*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"
(bridge)
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 *I knew exactly what 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 nothin' anyone would do
Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why
Alyssa lies
*Oh Daddy, oh* Daddy tell me why
Alyssa lies

It's called Alyssa Lies by Jason Michael Caroll
It's a pretty powerful song...

The story is coming from a little girl's father in Alyssa's classroom. She was abused, but she hid her hurt.... people knew, but did nothing about it. They let it go without anything said.
The abuse eventually went to far and she passed away.
" She doesn't lie in the classroom, she doesn't lie anymore at school, Alyssa lies with Jesus, because there is nothing anyone could do...."
I tear up everytime I hear it. It's sad because this actually happens in reality.

Well, it never says it outright, but that's the gist. The song is by Jason Michael Carroll and it's called "Allysa Lies."

Yes, it's by Jason Micheal Carroll. It is a sad song. Sort of my life story.

It's so sad. It's about a little girl whose parents beat her to death.
