What's in there isn't a mistake...
I have dreamt to bring it to reality
To see you
Smile,
Cry,
Claw,
Walk.
You're worth my sleepless night...
I have so dreamt of you
Of you in my arms
A piece of me
The world should see
There you are...
A foetus
The world wants you dead
The white man calls it Abortion
They said it's not yet time for you
To come
They gave series of excuses
Am I too young to dream?
Here I am ...
Always dreaming of you
Of us
Memories to have
And never forget
Tho' they all are blind..
They couldn’t see what I saw
They saw a foetus
I saw a man
They saw a foetus
I saw life,
I saw dreams,
I saw the future
Tho' you were so tender
And I
Being your carrier
Seem not ripe...
The joy of you in me
Keeps me going
Mama, took me to the hospital...
To get rid of you
Everyone was scared
Scared of the unknown
You would soon be gone
Gone in the dark
Gone long and forgotten
I stood my ground...
I had to fight of you
Risk everything for you
You aren't a foetus.
You are my joy
Dont kill my foetus...
Dont kill my Dreams.
Encourage me to bring it out
Encourage me
Dont kill my Dreams...
Don't kill my aspiration
Don't kill my future
Dream big...
Dreams may seem shallow now
Don't let discouragement
Ever pull you down
Dont abort that Dream! that talent that's in you!
