I AM A LIFE

Caught in the middle of living or dying
Mom's young alone and always crying
She's had it tough and don't understand
That if she don't love me someone else can

I am a life, I am a life, I am a life, I am a life

I wanna live can't you hear me saying?
I wanna live can't you feel my heart beating?
I wanna live have you no emotions?
I wanna live my God given life

I am a life, I am a life, I am a life, I am a life

Convinced by family and friends to abort
She's heading for a man paid to cut my life short
My heart's beating like a drum as I scream
Oh Mother please tell me what about me?

I am a life, I am a life, I am a life, I am a life

Father forgive them for they know not what they do
Yes Father I commit my spirit unto you
Father forgive them for they know not what they do
Yes Father I commit my spirit unto you

I am a life, I am a life, I am a life, I am a life
