All received counseling and two were removed from their situations.

Much more well-spoken than most new artists, a conversation with Carroll leaves no doubt about his ability to express himself. But turning those emotions into a hit song, isn't as easy as talking about it.

Carroll, who is the son of a preacher and wasn't allowed to listen to any music other than gospel during his youth, often is asked if the song is autobiographical, whether it be as a father or from his childhood. He said it's neither and actually stemmed from a poem his friend wrote.

Although Alyssa is fictional in Carroll's life, she is, unfortunately, very real to many others. And that's why "Alyssa Lies" has touched so many. Carroll admits he's still amazed at the number of people contacting him about their experiences, especially when he thinks of how one of his biggest influences touched his life.

Six years ago, Carroll received a phone call that changed his life forever. His fan club president had gone to Oklahoma to meet Garth Brooks. While talking to him, they struck up a conversation about Carroll, who had just lost his grandmother the day before. At first, Carroll didn't believe the superstar was on the other end of the line. He gave his condolences, Carroll remembered, and then a piece of advice.

But it if you make it, it's the sweetest road you'll ever know. Don't give up,' " Carroll said. That's really kept me going. And that conversation may just be a big reason why "Alyssa Lies" is helping others today. And that's something not even Brooks knows yet. I want to thank him for that phone call," Carroll said. It was a really big deal to me.

Hopefully, one day I'll get to thank him personally for that. Thank you for reading! Please log in, or sign up for a new account and purchase a subscription to continue reading. Sign Up. But it's funny how kids can see things before adults can. Kids are just too afraid to let somebody know that something is wrong. General Comment Another counrty song that always makes me cry everytime I listened to it.

The story that the song tells is so sad, really sad. I wish it was not too late yet, but it is. General Comment Basically, it is a combination of what everyone is saying. Alyssa is a young girl in the singer's daughter's class.

Alyssa is physically abused and the singer's daughter is the only one to realize and recognize this fact. Before the father can do something about it, the girl is dead. And he tells his daughter that she is in Heaven with someone who really loves her; Jesus. This is a great awareness song! General Comment soccerpl I understand how you feel.

Seeing a child hurt or killed would be enough to make my blood boil, but before either of us write off the parent and condemn them, we need to remember that any judgement should come from the Holy Judge. Now that we have that out of the way and before we come to the conclusion that God is going to automatically condemn them to Hell, let's consider God's purpose for mankind.

John 3: a says For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God's purpose is not to condemn. He wants reformation not punishment. If you think Child abuse is bad consider one of the most prominent apostles. Paul who at the time went by Saul murdered Christians many times. I am not sure if children were killed, but if I am assuming correctly, if a child was a Christian, then they would be at just as high of a risk of execution.

By today's standards Paul was by definition a serial killer. One of the world's worst men at the time had an experience with God and became possibly the most successful preacher for a long time and I mean Long if it ever ended.

By your standard, Christianity may never have spread as fast and could possibly have died. Also remember that God has standards more strict than we do. He pays much more attention to the "small sins" than we ever do and He judges equally by His standards.

If God started sending people to hell on their first strike then the Earth would be completely barren of humans.
