(Hogan)



shut your little mouth my son

keep it closed, dont tell no one

now lets pretend, we're blind again

if god forgives me  - I know you can



hush now baby, say no word

daddy killed the mockingbird

stay with mommy hold her tight

she wont hurt you   -  daddy might



baby's in the cradle

mom is on the table

screaming while she's able



Chorus:

I will learn from your mistakes   (x4)



sunday morning, what's the cost

without his love, they say I'm lost.

the wooden house behind the cross

is where they say the sins are washed



But father with the book in hand

make us try to understand

why children cry when you are near

your sins are made behind the peer



look at your behavior

in the name of your savior

I'll do you a favor



Chorus:

I will learn from your mistakes   (x4)



so many preyed for you, but I don't know if it ever got through

so many touched by you, but not in the way they wanted to 

I don't know ...... the reasons why.

I don't know..... .. the reasons why........
