Deanna’s StoryJan 08 '03 Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line --- [ verse 1 ] Deanna Joy was at the head of the class Straight A student, had a heart of glass Her brother came home to find her lying in her bed One single shot, a single bullet in her head. Musically gifted, smarter than most She had everything to live for, friends and family were close Why did she give it up without giving it a chance Only one more year ‘til “Pomp and Circumstance”. [ chorus ] When you look at me what do you see Things aren’t always what they seem to be The game is rough and you play to win Can’t be too sure what’s behind that grin. [ verse 2 ] She could plan out her future and everything in it With the gifts she was given, the sky was the limit But something was wrong, just wasn’t quite right And everyone knew it after that night. The letter in her hand told the whole story He had warned her not to tell or she’d be sorry They’d known him for so long, who knew what was in store From the friend, the neighbor, the man next door. [ chorus ] When you look at me what do you see Things aren’t always what they seem to be The game is rough and you play to win. Can’t be too sure what’s behind that grin. [ verse 3 ] How long had this been happening, nobody knew She seemed just fine, there wasn’t a clue Until the whole sordid story was told in the morning paper No one knew she was being raped by the next door neighbor. Her parents were numb, their only daughter was dead One single shot, a single bullet in her head The neighbor man arrested, spends his life in jail All that’s left of Deanna’s life is this sad, sad tale. [ chorus ] When you look at me what do you see? Things aren’t always what they seem to be. The game is rough and you play to win. Can’t be too sure what’s behind that grin.  |
