Dear Mommy (Give Me A Chance)

Dear Mommy do you hear me yet

I'm the voice you've never met

I'm the life you carry inside

And I feel everything you try to hide

Every breath you take

I'm breathing too

When you take that drink

It flows through me and you

I don't have a choice

But I'm begging you now

Can you hear my voice

Don't let us go down

Please keep me safe

Free from harm

So I can feel the warmth

Of your arms

I don't wanna die

Before I live

All I ask Mommy

Is this chance you can give

Let me see the world

Through your loving eyes

Let me live

Let me rise

I wish you'd hear

The silent cry

You're drinking away

Both our lives

God's plan for me

Was to laugh and play

But now my future

Is lipping away

Born with your pain

Your addiction too

That's not the life

I want with you

But it's not too late

I'm holding on tight

Choose love for us

Choose the light

Please keep me safe

Free from harm

So I can feel the warmth

Of your arms

I don't wanna die

Before I live

All I ask Mommy

Is this chance you can give

Let me see the world

Through your loving eyes

Let me live

Let me rise

We could count the toes

On my tiny feet

You could hear my heartbeat

Steady and sweet

In your arms

I'd finally know

What it's like to feel love

And to grow

Please keep me safe

Free from harm

So I can feel the warmth

Of your arms
