Because of you there is no light
In my world there is only night
You robbed me of all things that would be fun
I’ll never be able to crawl walk or even run
You didn’t want me, so I had to die
There is a lot of things that you didn’t even try
Childless couples I could have brought joy
They didn’t care if i was a girl or a boy
Don’t you know how kids are born
Or were you afraid of some people scorn
You could stand and look them in the eye
You didn’t have to let me die
So many things you could have done
But some of you wanted your so-called fun
You took away all of God’s things I could see
And all of my kids’ games will never be
You see a lot of things you could do
Remember me it could have been you
A lot of people have lots of love to give
To babies like me so let me live.
