To rid myself of this fear
For I am much to young you see
To have this tiny baby
I know I mustn't kill a child
But if I don't I will go wild
With anger and frustration sought
I'm afraid no comfort can be bought
My mind tells me there's something wrong
My heart is almost nearly gone
How did I get in such a mess?
I hope this child God does bless
To send him back to angels wings
To fly away from everything
It is not his fault that I did miss
With such a thing as happiness
I tried to find my one true love
But still they don't send him from above
So my journey brings me here
To see my mistakes oh so clear
Why did I have to be so needy?
I didn't mean to be this greedy
But you see I must go on
And sing the beauty of life's song
One last thought before I go
For this you must always know
When you hold your child so dear
Remember my one and only fear
I pray that God forgive me now
Even though I don't quite know how
He could ever forgive a mother's cry
As she knows that her baby must die
