This World Lyrics - Rosanne Cash

I read about this baby she got beat up by her dad 

She was nine months old and he was a full grown man 

She may have been learning how to crawl and he put a fist in her face 

And the doctor said this baby's gone she can't be replaced 

Now you read a lot of things in the daily news 

But I'm laying awake at nights wondering what to do 

I pray the Lord her soul to keep cause all down here are fast asleep 

But I want to say this baby belongs to me and you 

So we gotta wake up this baby belongs to me and you 

[ guitar ] 

Everyday when I wake up in this world and it's spinning out of control 

Who's at the wheel seems no one knows 

We're all just like a baby frightened and so sad 

Feeling beat up by someone who looks like dad 

Now you read a lot of things... 

So we gotta wake up this baby belongs to me and you
