For Such as These



Where do unborn babies go
Who never got to know their soul
Nor we they ever given a choice.

Killed before drawing their first breathe
Innocent victims, sentenced to death
I feel the pain in their unheard voice.

Mama, what did I ever do
That now you don't love me too
I felt that you and I were one.

So I wasn't 'part of your plan'
That doesn't change the fact, I am
Don't take my life, it's only just begun.

And when did God give you the right
To decide I would never see sunlight
Undeveloped feet can never learn to walk.

If I had knees, I'd kneel and pray
That you could find another way
Mama, if I was only able to talk.

I'd tell you how much I want to live
I love you mama, can't you give
Me the same chance once given to you

To feel loved, to laugh and cry
Mama please don't make me die
I know that you could love me too...
