Collin Raye's "I Think About You" never fail to bring tears to my eyes.

Every time I see  a woman on a billboard sign
I think about you
Saying, "Drink this beer and you'll be mine,"
I think about you
When an actress on a movie screen
Plays Lolita in some old man's dreams,
It doesn't matter who she is
I think about you.

When I see a pretty oman walking down the street
I think about you
Men look her up and down like she's some kind of meat.
I think about you
She wouldn't dare talk to a stranger
Always has to be aware of the danger
It doesn't matter who she is,
I think about you.

You eight years old
Big blue eyes and a heart of gold
When I look at this world, I think about
You and I can't help but see
That every woman used to be
Somebody's little girl, I think about you

Every time I hear peoiple say it's never gonna change,
I think about you
Like it's some kind of joke, some kind of game,
I think about you
When I see a woman on the news
Who didn't ask to be abandoned or abused,
It doesn't matter who she is,
I think about you


It is such a great song--so true.

Every human being walking around on the planet was once someone's sweet little baby.  Who doesn't love an innocent little baby?

What happens to those babies as they grow is what makes them who they are.  But deep inside, there is still that perfect, innocent child that, hopefully, someone loved with all their heart.

Maybe if we could all learn to see each other that way, the world would be much less fucked up.

I don't expect it to happen, but it would be nice.
