I’m driving back from a vacation, and going through the twisty canyons on the way back to Gunnison a song played that I haven’t heard in quite some time. Whenever I hear this song, a mix of emotions come to mind. I think it’s a “beautiful” song. I get angry because of the atrocious story that is told. I find myself sad that this is a reality for far too many people. The song is called “What is Love” by Pax217. I heard this song many, many years ago and it stays with me for various reasons. The lyrics are below the video.

hey kid what are you lookin’ at
how’d you get so evil so fast
where’s your mom, where’s your dad
what did they teach you
did they touch you
i can’t believe this happened to you
i promise it’s not supposed to be this way
but you have no right to repeat the same
she’s not yours this ain’t a game

step back watch where your hands go
it might do you good to cut ‘em off
better that than to rip her off
you’re a thief an abomination
lucky for you i’m no assassin
i love her, you distorted her view
God help me not to distort you

so let’s just say that your blessed
blessed that i never met you

hey you son of a preacher man
i got some words for you
repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is near
you stole somethin’ that you can’t give back
from the one i love
and now she’s forced to pray daily
to fight against your flashbacks

so let’s just say you’re blessed
blessed that i never met you

hey you, you better take your eyes off of her
your eyes are evil so look away
i’m warnin’ you there’ll be
hell to pay hell to pay

little girl dont you cry
this boy can’t steal whats inside
let my Father hold you up
heal the thoughts that make you throw up
i know this life has been hard on you
but the next will never end
only thing i know to do
is to ask my Father to heal you

no soap will ever scrub away
the memories the memories

hey you, you better take your eyes off of her
your eyes are evil so look away
i’m warnin you there’ll be
hell to pay hell to pay

i’m sorry sorry
little girl don’t you cry
your beautiful beatuful beautiful
i love you, i love you
Father heal us
won’t You hear us
show us Your mercy forever
i love You, I love You
