Why The Devil To Die?

When the dream overwhelms my soul
who am I the persecuted
to live in hell
the mind
why?

That feeling of being betrayed
what have I done wrong
to deserve this
so innocent
why?

No not now you devil in disguise
playing games of torture
the child afraid
and weeping
why?

Mommy and Daddy arguing again
lock the doors and hide
pretend I'm sleeping
praying to God
why?

Shall I run away to nowhere?
there to lay in the hay
seeing a baby lonely
beneath the stars
why?

God in his wisdom a Savior now
to heal my broken heart
one more tear to cry
the devil to die.
Yes.
