a young mother speaks
as a mother, i gave life,
but i did it young, so am i wrong?
as a woman, i am not a wife,
but i have a child, so am i wrong?
i do not work
i live "off the state"
but i am raising "my mistake"
so am i wrong
my child is clean, she's polite, she's a star
take one look at her,and you'll see she'll go far
but me?oh yeah, my life is over?
i gave it up to become a mother!!
i was twenty one when my child was born
all people could do was taunt and scorn
of the loss of life, the lack of money
the sleepness nights, they wont be funny!
but i knew the truth, the riches, the gold
to cuddle my daughter when we both feel cold
to nurture, provide for, to care for and love
my beautiful daughter, my gorgeous mistake
the one biggest risk i ever did take
so please understand, i know its not easy,
but to not have my daughter?
that thought doesnt please me.
