You Don't Have To Be Afraid Anymore

Little girl in my arms turned eight months three days ago
 Pretty green eyes that cried when I scolded her
 Married thirteen years, I loved my wife and my job
 Three perfect daughters I did not deserve
 She took them away, said I had grown cold
 They found another life with a new daddy to love
 I tried to see them but days past they grew away
 Gave them my heart, they took the life from me
 I watched their life - two months after they had gone
 Followed patterns - she went running in the morning
 And made my plans - I'll take fear from their eyes
 Daddy is at the door
 Don't be afraid
 Just let me in
 Everything is fine
 Her smile shattered - "Daddy why do you have a gun?"
 Gut shot painless - I know the others will soon wake
 Through the hallway - nine year old died in her bed
 Master bedroom - the baby stirs in her crib
 Your green eyes
 Cry no more
 My baby girl
 Dies in my arms
 You don't have to be afraid anymore
 My tears drop on her bloody face
 She will never have to be afraid
 The cops found my body laying in bed
 Eight-month-old baby dead in my lap
 You don't have to be afraid anymore...
