Hear Her Cry

You know I’m pretty excited;
Never done any of this before.
Guess there’s a first time for everything,
And there’s so much more in store.
Yeah, I’m pretty high on life;
Can’t wait to get started.
My mom’s got big plans for me,
My future’s already charted.
Mom wants me to go to college,
To get further than she did.
She’s a big believer in knowledge,
And doing what’s right for her kid.
Mom and Dad are talking right now,
In fact, they’re getting pretty loud.
Dad’s yelling, «No way! No how!»
He says that three’s a crowd.
I wonder what he means by that,
And why is my mom crying?
The way that she’s carrying on,
You’d think someone was dying!
I’m the child that never was born;
I was allowed to die.
If you listen closely at night,
You can still hear me cry.
That pink dress will never be worn;
My mom fell for a lie.
If you listen closely at night,
You can still hear her cry.
I’m the child that never was born;
I was allowed to die.
If you listen closely at night,
You can still hear me cry.
You can still hear me cry.
I’m the child that never was born.
