A little girl lost,
|
her world full of pain.
|
He said it feels good,
|
She gave him her vein.
|
The dope made her numb
|
and numb felt like free.
|
Until she came down,down,down
|
To a new misery.
|
|
A junkie a whore,
|
living for the next high.
|
She'd lie cheat and steal,
|
She forgot how to cry.
|
Wide awake for two weeks,
|
shooting heroin then speed,
|
When she killed in cold,cold blood
|
all she felt was her need.
|
|
CHORUS
|
It's an eye for an eye,
|
Now you're gonna die
|
A tooth for a tooth,
|
It's your moment of truth.
|
There's no mercy here
|
Your stay is denied
|
Go on and pray,pray,pray
|
There's Mercy in the sky.
|
|
Alone in her cell,
|
no dope in her veins.
|
The killer'd become,
|
little girl lost again.
|
She fell to her knees.
|
She prayed she would die.
|
On the cold cement floor,
|
she finally cried.
|
|
And love came like the wind
|
Love whispered her name.
|
It reached through and held her
|
lifted her pain.
|
15 years on death row,
|
her faith deeper each day.
|
Her last words were "I love you all,"
|
Good-bye, Karla Faye.
|
|
Now it's an eye for an eye,
|
And you're gonna die
|
A tooth for a tooth,
|
It's your moment of truth.
|
There's no mercy here
|
Your stay is denied
|
Go on and pray,pray,pray
|
