The Truth

He was a friend She thought she could trust But being just friends couldn't Satisfy his lust She was alone Where she felt safe 'Til she was out of it Then she was his prey Now a judge Decides his fate Twenty five years to contemplate Momma sees her little baby But the law, it sees the truth And there's things that momma's baby's done The Devil wouldn't do So lock him up for all the hell He put that Angel through Momma's baby's been found guilty Now it's time he pays his dues Months gone by Thought he was in the clear But still his victim She lived in fear Waiting on the day Justice would be served Lord, it was the only thing that could halfway comfort her He wants mercy But it's too late Where was her mercy on that dark day Momma sees her little baby But the law, it sees the truth And there's things that momma's baby's done The Devil wouldn't do So lock him up for all the hell He put that Angel through Momma's baby's been found guilty Now it's time he pays his dues Well that Angel sat and cried With her family by her side And she stared down that bastard With triumph in her eyes Finally they're his tears After four long year Retribution awaits for all her uninvited pain Momma sees her little baby But the law, it sees the truth And there's things that momma's baby's done The Devil wouldn't do So lock him up for all the hell He put that Angel through Momma's baby's been found guilty Now it's time he pays his dues
