THIS SONG TEARS AT YOUR HEART, SO SAD ESPECIALLY IN TODAYS WORLD.

This song touches me in a special place in my heart because I had a similar event happen to me when I was a child... except her name was amanda not alyssa... I think of her everytime that I hear this song and all that she never got to see or do or live for reasons unknown...

I was listening to a country station when I heard this song.I told ny wife about the song and she started crying like a baby.We both agree that enough is not being done to protect children , and more people need to step in .

Oh My God...I think this song is the closest to the sad truth that I have heard in a while.. I foster children and you have no idea what they go through... I have always loved kids and cannot have any of my own so this was a way to help a child and help myself also...God bless songwriters and singers...we love you all...tc

Sad, sad song. The first time I heard it I was crying. Beautiful song.

Ok when I saw this guy's picture I almost laughed at he fact that his voice didn't match at all! Then I heard the song and started blubberin like a baby!

How sad, we must all help a child who we know is being abused in any way...the consequences of turning our head because we don't want to get can be death to the child. Our children need us now more than ever to be strong for them. A sad reality delivered perfectly in this song.

What a heartbreaking, yet wonderful song to listen to with your child to open a discussion about all the "Alyssa"s in our world who live with fear and lies. Please raise your children to reach out to other children around them, especially those who "lie"; the class bully may be an "Alyssa" who strikes out before the other kids can see who he/she really is.

I just listened to it. I cried through the whole song. Very Very sad. It is such a shame that when some people know the truth about what is going on and won't step up to help.
