Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
Ayahnya minum sepanjang hari dan mama melakukan narkoba
Never wanted to play
Tidak pernah ingin bermain
Or give kisses and hugs
Atau berikan ciuman dan pelukan
She’d watch the TV and sit there on the couch
Dia akan menonton TV dan duduk di sofa
While her mom fell asleep
Sementara ibunya tertidur
And her daddy went out
Dan ayahnya pergi

And the drinking and the fighting
Dan minum dan berkelahi
just got worse every night
Baru memburuk setiap malam
Behind their couch she’d be hiding
Di balik sofa mereka dia akan bersembunyi
Oh what a sad little life
Oh betapa menyedihkan hidupku
And like it always does, the bad just got worse
Dan seperti itu selalu terjadi, yang buruk semakin memburuk
With every slap and every curse
Dengan setiap tamparan dan setiap kutukan
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
Sampai ayahnya dalam kemarahan mabuk suatu malam
Used a gun on her mom and then took his life
Menggunakan pistol pada ibunya dan kemudian mengambil nyawanya

And some people from the city took the girl far away
Dan beberapa orang dari kota membawa gadis itu pergi jauh
To a new mom and a new dad
Kepada ibu baru dan ayah baru
Kisses and hugs everyday
Ciuman dan pelukan sehari-hari
Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in
Hari pertamanya di sekolah minggu guru masuk
And a small little girl
Dan seorang gadis kecil kecil
Stared a picture of Him
Menatap fotonya

She said I know that man up there on that cross
Dia bilang aku tahu pria di atas salib itu
I don’t know His name
Saya tidak tahu nama-Nya
But I know He got off
Tapi aku tahu dia turun
He was there in my old house
Dia ada di rumah lamaku
and held me close to His side
dan memelukku erat-erat
As I hid there behind our couch
Saat aku bersembunyi di balik sofa kami
The night that my parents died
Malam dimana orang tua saya meninggal
