Dear Jesus, I just had to write to you 
   Something really scared me, when I saw it on the news 
A story 'bout a little girl beaten black and blue 
   Jesus, I thought I'd take this right to you 
Dear Jesus, I don't understand 
   Why they took her mom and dad away 
I know that they don't mean to hit with wild and angry hands 
   Tell them just how big they are I pray 
Please don't let them hurt your children 
   We need love and shelter from the storm 
Please don't let them hurt your children 
   Won't you keep us safe and warm 

Dear Jesus, they say that she may die 
   Oh I hope the doctors stop the pain 
I know that you could save her and take her up to the sky 
   So she would never have to hurt again 
Please don't let them hurt your children... 

   Dear Jesus, please tell me what to do 
And please don't tell my daddy 
   But my mommy hits me, too. 
Please don't let them hurt your children...
