Sweet Melissa, I often pray for you  I hope your suffering was brief  I hope the angels that watch over all little children  Came for you and took you someplace beautiful and sweet  Aahh..  Suffer The Little Children    Dear Melissa, I often think of you  Everytime I hold my baby in my arms  I say a prayer for your mama and daddy too  I know they miss you, miss you since you're gone    Suffer The Little Children  At the hands of evil men  No baby dolls, no teddy bears  No lullabies for them  Every mother's nightmare  Will it ever end  Suffer The Little Children  At the hands of evil men    You who done the deed better do some prayin' too  Better hope that God's forgivin' like they say  Cause somewhere, somebody keeps a list  Of the evils that men do  An' your name's right up there  I heard `em say  Aahh..    Suffer The Little Children  At the hands of evil men  No baby dolls, no teddy bears  No lullabies for them  Every mother's nightmare  Will it ever end  Suffer The Little Children  At the hands of evil men    They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears  They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears  Forgive and forget, all the while  Love and pain become one and the same  In the eyes of a wounded child  Because Hell  Hell Is For Children  And you know that their little lives can become such a mess  Hell  Hell Is For Children  And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh    It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing  They blacken your eyes, and then apologize  You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing  Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy  Tell grandma you fell off the swing    Because Hell  Hell Is For Children  And you know that their little lives can become such a mess  Hell  Hell Is For Children  And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh    No, Hell Is For Children    Hell  Hell is for Hell  Hell is for Hell  Hell Is For Children    Hell  Hell is for Hell  Hell is for Hell  Hell Is For Children    Hell  Hell is for Hell  Hell is for Hell  Hell Is For Children    Hell Is For Children  Hell Is For Children
