If Babies Could Speak

IF BABIES COULD SPEAK

WHAT WOULD THEY SAY

WOULD THEY CRY OUT FOR MERCY      

OR WOULD THEY SAY IT’S OK

IF BABIES COULD SPEAK

WHAT WOULD THEY SHARE

WOULD THEY SAY WE WANT LIFE

OR WOULD THEY SAY WE DON’T CARE        

IF BABIES COULD SPEAK

WOULD THE MESSAGE THEY GIVE

BE THAT THEY RATHER DIE

OR THAT THEY RATHER LIVE

IF BABIES COULD SPEAK

WOULD THEY SAY WHY CAN’T WE CHOOSE    

WE DID NOTHING WRONG

WHY SHOULD WE LOSE

IF BABIES COULD SPEAK

WHAT WOULD THEY CRY

WOULD THEY CRY FOR COMPASSION           

AND CRY WHY MUST WE DIE

WHAT HAVE WE DONE

TO DESERVE SUCH A DEATH

TO BE SUCKED ALL APART                                  

TO BE TORN INTO BITS

IF THESE BABIES COULD LIVE

WHAT WOULD THEY DO

WOULD THEIR PLEA ONLY BE

TO SEE THEIR LIFE’S THROUGH

IF BABIES COULD SPEAK

WOULD THEY SAY TO THEIR MOM’S

YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY

I PROMISE NO HARM

YOU MADE THE CHOICE

TO CONCEIVE WHEN YOU DID

PLEASE LET US MAKE THE CHOICE

TO DIE OR TO LIVE

MOTHERS IF YOU DON’T WANT US

I’M SURE SOMEBODY DOES

JUST GIVE US THE CHANCE

TO TRY AND FIND LOVE

YES IF BABIES COULD SPEAK 

I BELIEVE THEY WOULD SAY

WE RATHER HAVE LIFE

THAN TO DIE IN THIS WAY
