Touching Song

Even though you never wanted

The child that grows in you

I know that you must be afraid

Of what you plan to do

But please before you let them take

This child before it's time

Would you hear what's on this heart of mine?

I am a barren woman

I cannot have a child

I've been a mother only in my dreams

And the child that grows inside of you

Could fill these empty arms

Please give him life

Then bring that child to me

There'll never be a child unwanted

As long as we are here

Your child could have a happy home

And we could dry our tears

I am a barren woman

I cannot have a child

I've been a mother only in my dreams

And the child you plan to throw away

Could fill these empty arms

Please let him live

Then bring that child to me
