Hey guys! As you know, child abuse is something that i speak out about, through my music. I had already co-wrote the song "Stop The Abuse" with my good friend Theresa Kuznetz, and she approached me the other night about co-writing this new song called "Living In Hell", which is also a song about child abuse. I didn't want to put just thoughts into this song, I wanted to put my heart into it, and also emotions, into the lyrics. Though the other song we wrote is great, I think this song speaks volumes, and it really brings to light what a child might be feeling emotionally, when he or she is being abused. It's not a pretty picture, but i will always represent an abused child, and hope that justice prevails. More people need to stand up for these kids, and contribute what you can to help stop child abuse. I guess i hope that somehow our song does just that. Anyway, thanks for reading, and God bless! Hope you enjoy our song! :)
Theresa, thanx for writing with me again! You and Joe are dear to my heart!!
Please pray for Theresa's husband Joe, who is battling cancer. Thanks.

"LIVING IN HELL"
Mommy, He hurt me, Can you make him stop
He hit me too hard, Cuz I broke his clock
Why does he hurt me, I try to be good
I wish daddy loved me, Like he should
Mommy, He also hurt Timmy too
I don't understand this, I have no clue
Other daddies don't act this way
If we misbehave, Daddy makes us pay
(CHORUS):
***********************************************
Too many children in the world today
Go through this pain every single day
Why can't we stop them and throw them in jail
So children won't have to keep living in hell
***********************************************
Mommy, Come help me, Come stop this man
I try, And I'm doing the best that I can
I'm just a child, So I need your help
But you don't save me, When I start to yell
Who can I tell that will listen to me
I'm not sure if they'd even believe
If I tell my teacher about my dad
I'm afraid that it might make him mad
(CHORUS):
*************************************************
Too many children in the world today
Go through this pain every single day
Why can't we stop them and throw them in jail
So children won't have to keep living in hell
*************************************************
(MUSICAL BREAK)
Please God, Tell me, What have I done
To be treated like this, Since I was one
God, You can stop him, Just make him see
That I am only a child of three.
(CHORUS):
**************************************************
Too many children in the world today
Go through this pain every single day
Why can't we stop them and throw them in jail
So children won't have to keep living in hell
**************************************************
Lord, Please save them.......From living in hell
